“Parade Square”
Early bird clinch at Migros, Easter bunny support at Zurich Airport – and Federer’s Hollywood ambitions

A look at the slightly different economic stories of the week: the latest “Paradeplatz” reports.

On March 23, 2019, Ursula Nold won the hard-fought election and became the first woman President of the Migros Cooperative Association.

Become President of Migros in the in-house magazine Ursula Nold and CEO Fabrice Zumbrunnen asked if they are morning people or night owls. The man from Neuchâtel reveals himself to be an early riser: “The most productive time for me is between 5 and 7:30 am.” The woman from Bern is completely different: She is definitely a night owl. “That’s why getting up at 5 a.m. doesn’t correspond to my biorhythm.” The question is when the two will discuss the future of the cooperative. And how much coffee is needed then.
–Not exactly Batman and Robin, but still a dynamic duo from Zurich Airport’s point of view: the Easter bunny and the wheelchair trolley.

Holiday bookings are increasing again as part of the lifting of Covid measures. The Easter bunny at Zurich Airport feels the same way. Because so many passengers make even fictitious holiday characters sweat. Airport Zurich boss Stephan Widrig shows mercy and provides him with the company’s own mascot, Rolli, to hand out Easter surprises to the guests these days.
For Sunrise UPC boss Andre Krause gives Roger Federer his singing skills in commercials to the best. However, they are only as good as John McEnroe’s ability to control outbursts of anger. The Swiss tennis maestro is doing better and better as an actor in front of the camera, most recently alongside Anne Hathaway for Switzerland Tourism. He has also acted before Robert DeNiro. Maybe in the future Federer will be seen more on the red Hollywood carpet than on the green Wimbledon lawn.
