Schwerin / Düsseldorf (dpa / mv) - No stores in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania are affected by the planned branch closings of the Douglas perfumery chain.

A company spokeswoman announced this on request on Tuesday.

The radio station "Ostseewelle" had previously reported on it.

According to the latest company information, around 60 of the approximately 430 branches nationwide are affected by the plans, and around 500 out of 2,400 in Europe. In the northeast, the chain has stores in Schwerin, Rostock, Greifswald and Stralsund.

Douglas boss Tina Müller had already emphasized last summer: “Customer demand is changing.

There is a trend away from stationary shopping towards online shopping.

We have to take this structural change into account by revising the branch network. "

At that time, the group boss left no doubt that not all of the 2,400 stores will survive the “revision” of the branch network.

But she emphasized: "Germany will tend to be less affected by shop closings than southern Europe."
