After Kika/Leiner filed for bankruptcy and attempted restructuring, the furniture chain is finally over. She has filed for bankruptcy. But now many customers are stuck with their deposits because they cannot get their money back. This causes discontent and wild insults.
Many items in stock at Kika/Leiner are now being sold at a 30 percent discount. After the sale, the existing 17 branches are expected to close and the remaining 1,350 employees will lose their jobs.
The furniture chain has been in crisis for several years and three ownership changes have taken place since 2013. On Wednesday, the furniture chain withdrew its restructuring plan and filed for bankruptcy.
As the “Kurier” reported, employees in the furniture stores are insulted by “injured customers” whose deposits cannot be recovered due to insolvency laws.
Customer Daniela R. reported on Wednesday evening in “ZIB2” about her visit to one of the branches. The mood there is said to be ‘angry’ and ‘sad’. “The employees are insulted, treated rudely and what kind of whores they are. Also by telephone. “They are having a very bad time,” she says.
