- Migros Zurich is closing four outlets in Eglisau, Niederurnen, Aathal and Bachenbülach.
- 24 employees are losing their jobs, but will be given jobs in Migros supermarkets.
Despite its 100th anniversary year, Migros is currently going through difficult times. The cooperative has had to abandon projects, close locations, remove its own brands from the range and sell off popular brands such as Hotelplan, Micasa and Do it yourself.
Now the next closures have been announced: Migros Zurich is closing four outlets, as reported by "Inside Paradeplatz". "The Migros outlets of Migros Zurich are being realigned, which will lead to the closure of 4 locations at the beginning of 2026," a Migros spokesperson confirmed to the portal.
The outlets in Eglisau, Niederurnen, Aathal and Bachenbülach are affected. A total of 24 employees will lose their jobs - but according to Migros, they will be offered jobs in supermarkets.
No closures in other cooperatives
Migros mainly sells liquidation goods, surplus stock and remaining stock from its own production in its outlets. According to spokeswoman Annabel Ott, the outlets will focus "even more consistently" on the liquidation of near-food and non-food goods - such as kitchen items, cleaning products and household accessories.
However, Migros does not want to abandon the concept completely: this year, two new outlets were opened on former specialist store sites in eastern Switzerland, and Migros Basel has also gained another location in Porrentruy. There are currently 31 Migros outlets throughout Switzerland.
