Overview
- Rofu signed an investor agreement with Kids & School Holding, backed by TOP Locc partner Achim Weniger, to execute a takeover through an insolvency plan that requires creditor consent.
- The plan keeps 77 of about 104 stores open and transfers 1,035 store employees to the buyer.
- The 27 excluded locations will run clearance sales until about July and then close, with roughly 330 workers, mostly part-time and temporary, set to lose their jobs.
- Rofu will also cut central roles, keeping about 80 of 360 head‑office jobs and closing the Rammstein warehouse, leaving around 1,120 jobs overall.
- Regional lists show Senden among the closures, and in Franconia the stores in Ansbach, Kulmbach and Weißenburg will shut while seven others remain open.
