Das Supermarkt-Beben 2006: Warum HL & miniMal an einem Wochenende sterben mussten

On Friday, it was still HL or Minimal. On Monday, it was suddenly Rewe. Thousands of supermarkets, renamed overnight. But what's REALLY behind the sudden disappearance of the iconic supermarkets of our childhood? The white, no-name packaging, the typical smell of cardboard and deli counters – for millions of people, HL and Minimal were more than just a supermarket. They were home. In this major nostalgia documentary, we delve into the history of HL and Minimal. From their beginnings as a small shop in Hesse under visionary founder Willi Leibrand to their rise to a billion-dollar empire that challenged Aldi and the like. We uncover how the famous products with the simple black lettering came about, why Minimal was the first western supermarket for many in the East after reunification, and how Rewe ultimately took over the reins. Join us on a journey back to a time before self-checkout and app discounts and discover the whole truth behind the "Big Bang" in September 2006, which ended an entire era of shopping in just one weekend. 👇 Share your story in the COMMENTS! 👇 What is YOUR fondest memory of HL or Minimal?
