Mövenpick is participating in Gamag Management AG (Lucerne). «Through its investment in Gamag, Mövenpick can now engage itself in restaurant operations with individual concepts and thus indirectly expand its restaurant strategy», said Mövenpick's CEO Guido Egli. «That means that we are significantly strengthening our position in Swiss gastronomy.»
In connection with the investment, the following four Mövenpick restaurants are being transferred over to Gamag at staggered intervals in the second half of the year 2008: Locarno Oldrati, Lucerne Grendel, Sihlbrugg Löwen and Zug.
In accordance with Gamag's concept, they will be positioned as regionally anchored restaurant operations with an individual profile. All the staff members affected by this change will be taken over by Gamag and continue to be employed.
Until now, Gamag Management AG has been running 15 successful operations in Switzerland. The restaurants are orientated to the regional needs of their guests and enjoy great popularity.
