Lindt jumps on the sweet Dubai trend ++ Post shrinks flagship branch ++ Coop boss goes among the fairytale uncles
A look at the slightly different economic stories of the week: The latest “Paradeplatz” reports.
As a master chocolatier, do you have to get involved in every Tiktok hype? Apparently yes. The chocolate company Lindt under Adalbert Lechner According to “Blick”, is launching its own limited edition Dubai chocolate. This is a bar filled with pistachio cream and angel hair and is particularly celebrated on social media. But Lindt wouldn’t be Lindt if the company didn’t have its version gold-plated. The “Lindt Dubai Chocolade Edition” costs an impressive 14.95 francs – for 150 grams.
The mail from Roberto Cirillo is cutting some branches completely – and others are being downsized. This also applies to the iconic Sihlpost branch in Zurich. The post office has given part of the space back to the SBB as the landlord. They have already found a new tenant, namely the company known for their racing simulators Racing Unleashed. Perhaps unexpected synergies will emerge – for example in the form of driving training for postmen who are already under time pressure.
Coop Chef Philipp Wyss goes among the fairytale uncles: his Coop City department store “St. Annahof” on Zurich’s Bahnhofstrasse will in future sponsor the “Märlitram”. It follows in Jelmoli’s footsteps. The department store of the same name will close its doors at the end of February 2025. So it’s quite possible that Santa’s children will get a Prix Guarantee mandarin in their hands in the future instead of the traditional Tirggel.
