At the centre of life, close to people: In our film series, we present impressive REWE Group retailers - strong personalities who have led their stores to success with an individual signature and a common sales concept. Their stories are as diverse as they are - and yet they are united by a common foundation of values that is deeply rooted in REWE Group's co-operative tradition. Today's portrait: Daniel Dugandzic.
"We work in our companies, on our companies, with each other." This is how Daniel Dugandzic describes his work as a merchant at REWE Group and in the cooperative. He started at REWE headquarters in 2008 and worked in various positions there until he finally switched to the retailers department. There he discovered how much fun the job was and decided: I want to do that too!
He and his brother now successfully run four stores in Cologne and the surrounding area. They regularly present their customers with exciting innovations - both in terms of product range and technology. This is only possible thanks to the cooperative, says Daniel Dugandzic.
The cooperative brings together a wide range of expertise that retailers can benefit from, for example to further develop their markets, obtain expertise or network. This also minimises the risk of independence, as REWE Group retailers operate under the umbrella of a large and stable community.
