The entrepreneur Anton Schlecker
Anton Schlecker grew up in a family of butchers. Already with 17 years he puts his master examination to the butcher, later he takes over his father’s business with 17 butchers and a meat factory. But his breakthrough came later. As the resale price maintenance falls, founded in 1975 his first Schlecker drugstore in Kirchheim unter Teck
From the outset, it is clear. In a market it should not go. Less than ten years, take the butcher’s son has already opened more than 1,000 Schlecker stores. Its success is due to its price and negotiating skills. He invested only when it is necessary – as there are in the stores, for example, long neither fax nor phone. With traders Schlecker negotiated adamantly, often he paid goods only if he has been sold.
His strategy is working, as long as his empire grows and he can continue to open new branches. But in the early 2000s comes Schlecker its limits. In some locations, its stores are already having mutually competition by competitors such as Rossmann and dm growing the battle for customers. More and more Schlecker stores will take less than they cause to costs. His problems trying Anton Schlecker long without help. He is considered a patriarch who can be reluctant reinreden. Most recently, he is increasingly coming under fire: So he should have dismissed employees to set them cheaper later through a temporary employment agency. Save can not also him. 20 January 2012 his company goes into bankruptcy.

The children Meike and Lars Schlecker

Both later study business and go into the family business. However long it is unclear what effects they have – not even business cards and they shall possess. Only in 2010 they take on leadership roles. The goal: As a junior she should stand for the new beginning. The new Schlecker Slogan: “For you, for city”. Meike and Lars Schlecker be photographed in remodeled stores, for the first time shows the family with them face. But do not want to leave all the business her father them.
For Meike and Lars Schlecker lead two other companies: The logistics company LDG that manages the storage of Schlecker, and the construction company BDG.
