The German retail chain Galeria has again filed for the opening of insolvency proceedings. The petition was submitted to the Düsseldorf District Court on October 2. This is already the company's fourth insolvency filing within six years. ORF ↗
Operations at the 83 department stores are to continue for the time being. However, the company is facing another financial crisis, and the future of its stores remains uncertain. According to the company, the insolvency proceedings are meant to bring greater stability and create the conditions for resolving its economic situation. Spiegel.de ↗
Approximately 12,000 jobs are at risk. Employees are once again facing uncertainty, although the stores are to remain open for now. During the previous insolvency proceedings, it took about two and a half years from the filing of the petition. Deutschlandfunk ↗
In connection with the new proceedings, there is also talk of the possibility of closing more than 30 branches. Galeria is the last major retail chain of its kind in Germany, and its problems could also affect the functioning of city centers, where department stores have long played an important role. Sueddeutsche Zeitung ↗
Further steps will depend on the court's decision and on the company's recovery plan. It is not yet clear which stores might potentially be closed, nor how the insolvency proceedings will affect employees and the chain's continued operations. Tagesspiegel ↗
