At Edeka, the shelves are suddenly empty and completely unexpected. In total, there are no less than 300 products missing from the supermarkets.
Edeka is currently struggling with many adverse circumstances. Now 300 products are missing from the shelves, which unsettles the customers.
A delivery stop is to blame
In addition to increased costs and general delivery problems for various products, several shelves are now empty at Edeka. Because a total of 300 products are missing. Rewe is also affected by the delivery stop.
This stop really comes as a surprise. For both retailers and consumers. So they get neither chocolate nor pasta nor pet food and Co.
That’s the background
Why the shelves at Rewe and Edeka are so empty with certain products is due to a certain manufacturer. Because the food company Mars has suddenly stopped delivering all of its products.
The delivery stop can last for a longer period of time. In several supermarkets, certain products will remain away for the time being. The American food manufacturer Mars wants more money from the German grocers.
300 products are affected
However, since the supermarkets cannot understand Mars’ high demands, they have declared that they will not accept them. However, there are no concrete statements as to how Edeka and Rewe intend to deal with the requirement in the future.
All that is known so far is that Mars has completely stopped supplying the two supermarket chains until further notice. The delivery stop has been in place for more than three months. Meanwhile, the stocks of the markets are emptying. So consumers have to be prepared for empty shelves.
