Economist Vít Hradil of the Cyrrus company assumes that the Czechs will soon have to get used to the purposes of other famous brands. “In general, it can be said that real purchasing power in the Czech Republic is decreasing “, Events247 said. According to him, it will be so the biggest problem for chains or retailers. “I probably wouldn’t worry so much about those who fully specialize in luxury clientele. After all, these clients don’t run into existential problems, in fact, they can often be motivated to spend money before inflation affects their value.“added Hradil for Události247.
There will remain a gap in the market
As the economic expert states, it does not foresee a threat to retailers who trade directly “On the saucer” price spectrum. “You are typical there, after all needs that must always be met: basic food, fuel. At risk are the middle classes, who do not necessarily rely on mobile citizens, but rather on the middle class. He already has to give up on some popular products in case he just doesn’t get the money. The chain in question seems to fall into that category “. says economist Událostem247.

Vladěna Stehlíková told Událost247: “A few years ago, my friends and I discovered Nordsee, we liked going there after work. But it’s true prices have gone up terribly lately. A person should allow himself such a visit only exceptionally, when he wants to make himself happy. But I’m still sorry it’s running out, it’s hard for anyone to fill this gap. I’m definitely not going to switch to burgers. ” On the website, both stores in Prague still report that they are open and invite you to visit them. However, their contact phones are equally deaf.
