Euronics takeover in Öhringen: SCANDAL about change in management!

Euronics takeover in Öhringen: SCANDAL about change in management!

A shocking upheaval scenario is emerging in the world of retail! Euronics Deutschland eG, a giant in the electronics market, has taken over the Euronics XXL specialist store in Öhringen - as part of a dramatic succession plan. The market's previous icon, Managing Director Dietrich Sinn, will retire from operational business on June 30, 2025. Now Dieter Fuchs, who has been in management since the beginning of 2023 and is currently on the rise, is taking over the management of this “model market”, which, with its huge 2,400 square meters of sales space, represents an indispensable part of the region. Telecom trading reports that Euronics classifies the market as economically strong and “well staffed”. A top-class player in the industry is continued here!

That's not enough! Since 2012, Euronics has developed the ability to take over markets itself in exceptional cases - a legal measure that is now bearing fruit. The criteria for these takeovers are as rigorous as they are necessary: ​​economic viability, valuation reports and approval by committees. Apparently the XXL market in Öhringen meets all expectations in order to continue to operate under the strong Euronics flag.

The strategic realignment!

But what is behind this takeover? The new strategy “GAME CHANGER 2030” was presented at the EUROICS Summer Convention (ESC) in Mallorca at the end of June 2025, where over 850 participants from the industry came together to discuss strategic decisions. SME association emphasizes that the board team, made up of the optimistic Benedict Kober, Brendan Lenane and CFO Denis-Benjamin Kmetec, is pulling together to accelerate growth and strengthen member orientation! Astonishing: Euronics celebrated a sales increase of 2.2% in the first half of 2024/25 - despite the population's oppressive purchasing reluctance!

At a time when many companies are stagnating or even shrinking, Euronics stands out with an entrepreneurial culture that sees growth, value creation and digitalization as the cornerstones of its future. Over 40 successful successions in the last two years and 50 projects in the pipeline are a strong sign of the company's continued momentum.

The digital upswing!

And Euronics is also sounding the alarm in e-commerce! According to the impressive study “E-Commerce Market Germany 2023”, the Euronics online shop made it to a sensational 41st place among the best B2C online shops – a jump of 12 places! Euronics Germany shows that net e-commerce sales in Germany amounted to 283.8 million euros - a sign of the real progress in digital business, despite a market under pressure!

The digital strategy is being consistently developed further by a newly founded digital advisory board. Euronics pursues an omni-channel strategy that aims to successfully link stationary and digital retail. And while the closures of various online shops shook the industry, Euronics is showing strength by focusing on supporting its members and taking innovative measures to increase sales.

All of these developments show that Euronics is a decisive player with future prospects not only in Hesse, but throughout Germany! It remains to be seen what further shockwaves this emerging corporate strategy will trigger as Euronics continues to establish itself as the flagship market of a new era!
