The REWE Group is testing a new concept
MD
The second largest food retailer in Germany is testing a new fast food concept "Rewe to Go" in direct competition with McDonald's and Starbucks.
The first Rewe to Go has opened in downtown of Cologne. Its sales area is approximately 130 m2 and is open daily from 7am to 22pm. It offers about 1,000 items ready to eat: drinks, sandwiches, sushi, pastries, salads, fruits portion.
This new concept enables Rewe to use its skills as a distributor of fresh produce. If the test proves positive, the concept could be extended to other crowded places like railway stations, airports or shopping centers.
