Kauver supermarket offers seniors 10% discount
Kauver, a regional supermarket chain specializing in international and Eastern European groceries, has introduced a regular senior discount to drive customer visits. At most Kauver locations, retirees and customers aged 67+ receive 10% off eligible purchases on the first Tuesday of each month (proof required). In Hannover the chain offers a more generous local variant: customers aged 60+ get 10% off every Tuesday. Discounts exclude already-reduced and promotional items, are not paid out in cash, and require ID or a pension pass at checkout. Kauver currently operates twelve stores across Lower Saxony, Bremen and North Rhine-Westphalia.

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.
Kaufland attacks Aldi with 'Best Prices' campaign featuring Laura Wontorra
German retailer Kaufland (Schwarz Gruppe) is launching a broad advertising campaign under the slogan 'Deutschlands beste Preise' (Germany's best prices) directly countering Aldi's recent 'Günstig ohne Bonus-App' campaign. The campaign features TV spots developed in-house starring presenter Laura Wontorra, who asks customers in Kaufland stores what they consider the best price for their groceries, with the retailer claiming to match these low prices nationwide on regular products. The move targets price-sensitive consumers amid rising living costs and takes aim at competitors such as Aldi, Penny, and Netto, particularly on the topic of price leadership. Kaufland's marketing director Michael Lüttgen emphasizes the company's commitment to affordability, citing over 300 weekly promotional prices, 7,000 permanently discounted items, and the Kaufland Card XTRA benefits program. The campaign follows Kaufland's recent shift to offer promotions from Monday instead of Thursday, aiming to improve customer access to deals.
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.
