history
On April 11, 1930, Migros AG expanded into central Switzerland when it opened a shop on Grabenstrasse in Lucerne . The first branches were still looked after from Zurich . The Migros Lucerne cooperative was founded and was simultaneously accepted into the MGB on December 11, 1941. In November 1949, the cooperative received its own management team that was independent of Zurich. With the opening of our own operations center in Ebikon on January 1, 1950, the operational dependency of the six branches in Central Switzerland ended. As in other regions of Switzerland, Migros had to overcome stubborn resistance from authorities and traders. In the Canton of Zug, for example, she was only allowed to use sales vehicles in 1952 . In addition, the vending vehicles were not allowed to stop on public property in any of the cantons of central Switzerland.
Migros Lucerne introduced the first self-service vending car on April 4, 1960 without prior notice. It operated on the Sursee - Triengen - Reiden - Hasle route and was popular with customers. Since it also enabled a significant increase in sales, the other cooperatives quickly followed suit. The company building in Ebikon has meanwhile reached its capacity limits. In 1969 the construction of a new distribution center began in Dierikon , which went into operation two years later. Numerous branches could only be built after referendums had been passed. For example, the Landsgemeinde of the canton of Nidwalden had to approve the construction of the Landespark shopping center in Stans , which opened in 1980. Five years later, Migros Lucerne had more than 100,000 members for the first time. In 1993 sales exceeded the billion mark and in 1997 the era of sales cars ended.
