history
The company's history goes back to 1875. The out of the Württemberg Eningen originating Jakob Hummel was in 1875 in Massing down and opened the market square one grocery retailing. Around 1930 his son Adolf Hummel took over the shop. Adolf Hummel was the father of seven children, including Berta Hummel , who would later become famous for her drawings and porcelain figures. In 1959 Adolf Hummel was elected first mayor of the market town.
Around 1970 his son Alfred took over the shop, which already had hardly any groceries on offer. A few years later, Alfred Hummel brought another partner on board with the Gangkofener businessman Otmar Edenhofer, and together they founded the h + e-markt Hummel & Edenhofer Handels-GmbH . They wanted to turn the small shop into a branch company. The first branches were opened, including in Mühldorf am Inn , Eggenfelden and Neuötting . Just a few years later, more than 30 branches were opened all over Southeast Bavaria. The focus was more and more on low-priced fashion and non-food items. The 78th branch was opened in Osterhofen in 1995, and further branches were to follow in the same year. The h + e stores were now no longer only represented in south-east Bavaria. Branches were opened in Regensburg , Burglengenfeld and Passau , among others . In the following years, however, branches with weak sales were closed again.
sale
The owners decided in 2004 to sell their company on October 1, 2004 to competitor NKD. The reason for their decision was that neither of them have any offspring. Only six months later, in spring 2005, almost all of the remaining 65 branches were integrated into the NKD network and switched to the new range. In the same year Otmar Edenhofer left the company. In 2005, Alfred Hummel applied for deletion from the commercial register.
