“The model we have had for a city center with retail stores along the pedestrian street is being destroyed”

On Monday, the renowned hardware store Møller & Mammen closed. The chief economist says that retail across the country is “absolutely under pressure”, which means that the cityscape is changing.

Monday was a sad day for store owner Jan Beregaard Pedersen.

The hardware store Møller & Mammen – which has been located on the same corner of Adelgade and Gothersgade for 149 years – had to turn the key, and it happened on the watch of store owner Pedersen.
