Edeka Refreshes Low-Price Brand Image
Edeka is updating its entry-price private label Gut & Günstig by adding a new red seal intended to signal price competitiveness with discount retailers and draw more customer traffic to its stores.

Kaufland opens redesigned Cuxhaven supermarket
Kaufland opened a redesigned Kaufland Center in Cuxhaven in February 2026 in the former Real building (Real occupied the site until autumn 2021). The 4,600 m² sales area offers about 30,000 articles with wide aisles, optimized wayfinding, expanded chilled/frozen sections and a visible nonfood strategy that includes brands acquired from Lidl. Private-label products contribute nearly 28% of sales. The location hosts local partners—a pre-checkout butcher and an in-center pharmacy that handles e-prescriptions and home delivery—and neighboring retailers such as Woolworth, NKD and dm. The store employs around 90 people under house manager Jeanette Wilde, features self-service checkouts and scan-and-go via handheld scanners or the Kaufland app (used in roughly 15% of transactions), and sits on property acquired by the Schwarz Group.
Flaschenpost to Receive Kaufland Goods This Autumn
A commentary in Lebensmittelzeitung reports that Flaschenpost — described as an Oetker subsidiary — will begin receiving merchandise from retailer Kaufland starting this autumn. The author, Denise Klug, says the arrangement offers Flaschenpost an opportunity to meaningfully expand its food assortment beyond beverages, provided pricing is competitive. The piece notes the delivery service has been relatively quiet since the pandemic-era boom and frames the Kaufland supply deal as a chance to rebuild food competence.
