The EDEKA Gross-Zimmern (Groß-Zimmern) E Center has reopened at Rontgenstrasse (Röntgenstraße) 3 after a comprehensive renovation. Store manager Dominik Koch and his 67-member team proudly unveiled the revamped store on November 25, 2024. The reopening promises a blend of modern features, sustainability, and exceptional service, drawing attention from local shoppers and industry professionals alike.
With approximately 4,460 square meters of sales space, the renovated center focuses on fresh food selection, quality, and convenience. From EDEKA own brands to well-known labels and items at discount prices, the offerings are tailored to meet diverse customer needs. Dominik Koch highlighted the store’s unique selling points: “Our upgrades include a new Eat Happy sushi bar, expanded organic products, and advanced energy-saving measures.”
Sustainability and Energy Efficiency at the Core
EDEKA Gross-Zimmern E Center prioritizes sustainability. The renovation introduced LED lighting technology, a CO₂ refrigeration system with heat recovery, and an energy monitoring system to ensure efficiency. The store’s focus on organic products extends to Bioland and Demeter quality items, alongside a range of regional and local products.
These upgrades not only enhance the shopping experience but also demonstrate EDEKA Südwest’s commitment to environmental responsibility. By adding glass doors to all refrigerated cabinets, the store conserves resources while maintaining high standards for fresh food selection.
Enhanced Shopping Experience with Diverse Services
Customers are greeted with an inviting selection of fresh fruit and vegetables upon entering. Service counters for meat, sausage, cheese, and fresh fish offer a variety of specialty products, including homemade cream cheese preparations. Employees at these counters provide expert advice on product origins and preparation tips.
The in-store bakery and self-service bakery feature fresh bread, rolls, and pastries. A newly renovated drinks department offers a wide wine selection, supported by bottle return machines for added convenience. The store also includes the Budni Beautybox, a shop-in-shop concept from the Hamburg drugstore, offering personal care products, decorative cosmetics, fragrances, and natural cosmetics.
