Munich

No, not the film, the city.

I'm heading there on Sunday. When I was over there on business in 2015 I remember stumbling across a B&O store. Ran a search this morning to look for the location and found there are 3 (yes, 3) stores in the centre of town. All proper branded B&O stores, too.

Anyone know why this is the case? Perplexing. How does Munich manage to host 3 stores all within a walk of each other?

Very low rents?  Owner has all three stores and owns the freeholds?

3 stores within a walk of each other in London would be a struggle, so well done to that / those store owner(s) !! 🙂

Not sure if it's the same owner - I've seen varying reviews between the stores. And they do look a little different.

Just utterly perplexed how come there's 3 stores within walking distance of each other. I could understand if they were opposite ends of the city, but they are all in the centre.

Well... if they're not doing the business, and are still in business - then the owner(s) are clearly happy to lose money, or there's the other reason for having a 'front'... which I am sure cannot be the case.

On the positive side, let's hope that there's so much demand it takes three stores to keep up with it! 👍

München is a big city - and there are a many people with an above avarage income there.

As for low rents.....in München no way!

In Munich I once asked about the new BeoPlay A1. They didn't have it yet. But I could listen for one hour to some music played by a nice pair of speakers: BeoLab 90! Next day these speakers were shown at the High End Fair in Munich.
