Three existing branches in Berlin will become dormant, as two new and two older ones are set for shutdown.
Mangal Döner Closes Branches in Berlin, Pulheim, and Hürth: A Shift in Strategy
In a surprising turn of events, popular döner kebab chain Mangal has announced the closure of several of its branches across Germany. Among the closed establishments are the Mangal shop in Berlin-Kreuzberg, the Mangal shop in Pulheim, and the Mangal shop in Hürth.
The Mangal shop in Berlin-Kreuzberg, which was originally operated by former German footballer Lukas Podolski, closed suddenly in November 2024. Contrary to initial reports, the shop was a pop-up store and was not reopened after the lease ended, with no plans to continue at that location.
The closure of the Mangal shop in Kreuzberg is not part of Mangal's new strategy, which prioritizes locations with enough seating and a genuine welcoming atmosphere, and opening businesses in high-traffic areas.
The building where the Mangal branch in Pulheim is located is set to be demolished, leading to the closure. The branch in Hürth has been open since 2022, and the one in Pulheim has been operating for more than two years. The spokesperson for Mangal expressed regret over the closure of the successful Pulheim location.
The closures in Hürth and Pulheim are due to the expiration of their leases. Some smaller businesses no longer fit Mangal's new strategy, although the Mangal shop in Kreuzberg was not one of them.
The closure of the Mangal shop in Kreuzberg was not accompanied by speculation about the chain's financial health, unlike the closures in Hürth and Pulheim. The Mangal shop in Kreuzberg did not operate for more than two years, unlike the branches in Hürth and Pulheim.
The closure of the Mangal shop in Kreuzberg was not a part of Mangal's new strategy to open businesses in high-traffic areas. Mangal has announced a change in strategy as the reason for the closures of the branches in Hürth and Pulheim.
This strategic adjustment has resulted in the shutdown of other smaller Mangal Döner branches, including the one in Pulheim and later in Hürth. The Mangal shop in Kreuzberg, despite being owned by a high-profile figure, was not immune to this restructuring.
The closures may come as a surprise to fans of Mangal Döner, but the chain has assured customers that it remains committed to providing high-quality döner kebabs and plans to expand in line with its new strategy.
