Dhe time was long, the children were noisy, shops and restaurants were closed. And if the devil doesn’t want to eat flies in an emergency, he just goes to the weekly market. So it came about that many people rediscovered the weekly markets in the pandemic. “The customers had more time to think about it and more money to spend,” reports Gerlinde Michels-Brendel. She is a saleswoman at the Happel cheese stand at the weekly market at Bockenheimer Warte. Anyone who has stood at such a cheese car for a long time and bought cheese there knows that this experience is hardly inferior to a hearty shopping tour. You can spend a lot here and get just as much here.
The new customers were also noticed next door at Fischhandel Linz. “It was above all the classic restaurant-goers who have now come to us,” says one of the two saleswomen. Many would not have cooked so often themselves beforehand. Therefore, in addition to the goods, the two saleswomen also gave one or the other preparation tip.
