On Saturday, too, the rush to the traditional furniture store on Grillparzerstraße in Linz, which was about to be closed, was huge again. Even before the shop opened, bargain hunters secured the best starting positions so that they could be the first to storm into the store.
“It’s unbelievable what people are hauling out there just because it’s a lot cheaper than usual. No one can convince me that everyone needs so many bells and whistles,” said one “fence guest” visibly flabbergasted when he arrived at the Leiner at 7.30 a.m. on Saturday -Sale at Grillparzerstraße 25 in Linz. Because the queue in front of the furniture store was extremely long, and some inveterate bargain hunters had already secured the best places for the storm into the supposed price paradise on camping chairs. Only a lonely mourning candle at the entrance warned that the sale was actually no reason for happy, smirking faces and Shopping is fun, but rather gives reason to mourn another piece of Austrian tradition.Insolvency planned next week According to media reports, the furniture chain wants to file for insolvency next week. The new owner should strive for a restructuring process without self-administration. An insolvency administrator would pull the strings with that. The Linz lawyer Rudolf Mittlerlehner has handled large insolvencies, such as that of the daily drugstore chain. He said in the ORF interview: “In any case, you have to have a continuation concept, and I assume that this is currently being drawn up. In other words, an income statement that no further losses are incurred during the process and can also be financed afterwards. It is important to have a financial plan, a liquidity calculation, to prove that I can also pay these liabilities that arise.” “Krone” comment: The Leiner is mineYes, eh, the inflation and in general, everyone likes to make a bargain. But it still has an aftertaste of scavenging when the masses storm the dilapidated furniture store. I don’t want to play the Pharisee at all – if I had had time, I probably would have gone bargain hunting too. But fortunately it didn’t work out. When the frenzy of consumption is gone and you’re sitting at home with a few superfluous things, you usually have a bad conscience about the senseless gluttony – like after so many sins. Only at the top, there’s a lack of such emotions. The calculations are cold, cashed in and unabashedly continued.
