Migros loses millions on German venture

Swiss retail giant Migros is pulling out of Germany. It’s selling the Tegut Group, an organic supermarket chain with about 340 stores and more than 7,400 employees, mainly in central Germany.

The company says Tegut has struggled financially for years despite recent restructuring efforts - and says it believes it not to be financially viable.

Migros bought Tegut in 2013, but the chain has repeatedly generated losses and costly write-offs for the Swiss retailer.

The venture will cost Migros more than half a billion francs.
