history
The company was founded under the name Minipreis-Läden GmbH on June 30, 1961 by Ferdinand and Felix Klingenthal and was owned by the Klingenthal family until it was taken over by Bünting (see below) . The first grocery store was opened on January 1st, 1962 on an area of 95 m². In 1970 the administration and the central warehouse moved to Salzkotten.
In 1978 a meat factory was opened in Salzkotten. In 1988 a separate fruit and vegetable farm was built. This was followed by the construction of a central warehouse with 10,000 m² of storage space.
On July 1, 2013, the 33 existing mini-price stores with its 1,200 employees were taken over by the Bünting Group . In September 2014, Bünting announced that the mini-price stores, which had a similar concept to the Bünting brand Combi at the time of the takeover , will be reflagged to Combi.
