Ausseerland consumption

The Ausseerland consumption was an autonomous cooperative, which in the Styrian Salzkammergut selling food and textiles.

history

The forerunner is the Arbeitserkonsumverein zu Altaussee , founded in 1868. Ausseerland-Konsum was originally equipped with its own warehouse and fleet of vehicles. In the last few years, the ADEG was wholesaling, and in some cases the name Adeg-aktiv was used.

In 2000, Ausseerland-Konsum went into a silent bankruptcy-free liquidation because the rescue measures did not take effect. At that time a branch was built in Pichl-Kainisch on the federal road.

The municipality of Bad Aussee even approved the construction of a branch outside the city center on Salzkammergut Straße . However, the cooperative hesitated too long and so BILLA came beforehand and bought the property. Today, BILLA operates one of its branches with the highest turnover in Austria at this point.

Branches

Bad Aussee - In its heyday, the main building housed the region's largest grocery store, a large textile department, a toy shop and another textile department specially for modern clothing.
Altaussee - grocery store and textile department. The grocery store didn't open until the 1970s.
Lupitsch (district of Altaussee) - The smallest of all branches
Eselsbach (district of Bad Aussee) - distance to the main house: 200 meters
Grundlsee
Gößl (district of Grundlsee) - generated good sales figures in the summer months
Cainic
Bad Mitterndorf , Hauptplatz - grocery store with textile department
Bad Mitterndorf , Thörl - originally an ADEG branch, was run as a consumer branch for some time.

today

Ausseerland university market

Since the collapse, three branches have been operating as Ausseerland Unimarkt (Bad Aussee, Altaussee, Pichl-Kainisch). In the meantime, the former consumer branch in Grundlsee has also been added. The branches are operated by the former branch managers of the respective location. There is no cooperation between these four markets; each branch is an independent franchisee.

Supplier company

The Salzkammergut Back- und Fleischwaren GesmbH (SBFG) was a company based in Bad Goisern, in which Ausseerland-Konsum held a stake from 1969 to 1995, after which the company was wholly owned by Salzkammergut-Konsum . The sub-operations bakery, butchery and confectionery not only supplied the consumer branches, but from 2000 also the successor operations (university market), so that until the SBFG bankruptcy in 2011 there was a "consumer bread" to buy in the Styrian Salzkammergut. The new owner will continue to deliver bread and pastries.
