Fulda (dpa) - The supermarket chain Tegut continues to benefit from its large organic range and wants to continue its expansion course this year.
Last year, revenues grew by 17.7 percent to 1.26 billion euros, as the food retailer belonging to the Swiss Migros Cooperative announced in Fulda on Wednesday.
The company said that the changed lifestyle habits of people who, for example, worked more in the home office and shop more health-consciously, have contributed to this.
The share of organic food and products in total sales rose by almost two percentage points to 30.1 percent.
Regionally grown food was also sold more.
Tegut also expanded its branch network in 2020: in addition to seven newly opened stores, five more were renewed.
The most important milestone was the opening of the first supermarket in Munich at the beginning of December, it said.
At the end of the year, the chain had a total of 283 stores in Hesse, Thuringia, Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg as well as in Göttingen and Mainz and employed more than 8,000 people.

More new openings are planned for this year, including in Frankfurt / Main and Ellwangen.
The online business has also been expanded.
Since the summer, customers in the greater Darmstadt and Frankfurt-Süd area have been able to make their purchases online and have them delivered to their homes on the same day.
The company also explained that the topic of packaging was also in view.
In the past year, for example, numerous stores were retrofitted with unpacked stations, where customers could fill nuts, cereals and rice in their own containers.
