Closeout sale has begun Big rush at Mambo furniture store

Bonn · Furniture and home accessories store Mambo has been full of customers since announcing in March that it would go out of business. The official closeout sale begins on Thursday.

In the past weeks, the parking lot at Mambo has been so full that the furniture and home accessories store has had to engage a parking lot attendant. Owner Peter Kopprasch said that since they announced their going out of business at the end of March, there has been a rush of customers. The last three weeks have been “unbelievably good,” he reported. But the official closeout sale begins today on Thursday. On the one hand, it’s a bit sad that customers are only making so many purchases now, “The parking lot has never been so full,” said Kopprasch. On the other hand, he’s happy for all the bargain hunters.

Price reductions are to run up to 55 percent until the end of July. After that, the business space on Enemoserstraße will be rented out. Kopprasch could not name the new occupant, but would only say that it would be another furniture store.

He is still busy trying to help his 70 employees with future plans. “Most of them have already found a new job,” he said. There are still three months to find the other employees new jobs.

Customers will still have two years of access to a contact person at Mambo to ensure their warranties are honored, reachable at the regular Mambo phone number. Furniture will still be delivered until the end of the year. At the end of March, Kopprasch had announced that the furniture store, which had run in the family for more than five decades, would be closed down. They had lost too many customers in the last years and he saw no future for the family owned business. There had been four Mambo stores in Cologne and Bonn, and one in Trier which will remain open.
