Alexandra Richber
"You did your A-levels and you're learning to be a shop assistant?" Alexandra Richber had to listen to this question, an expression of incredulous amazement, several times. But she was not deterred. Today, she runs two REWE stores as a self-employed saleswoman.
Businesswomen in the co-operative
They have helped shape REWE and are also actively involved in the committees of the co-operatives. But although they are at least as successful as their male colleagues, they are quantitatively in the minority: REWE's saleswomen. We asked Sylvia Stilleke and Kathrin Gödecke why this might be the case.
akzenta in Dortmund
The classic retailer question "Would you like a little more?" is the programme here: the new akzenta store in Dortmund boasts 34,000 items, from entry-level to premium prices. Most of the products are sourced from REWE warehouses. 650 third-party suppliers round off the range with additional brands and create an unrivalled selection.
