New Edeka market in Bad Hersfeld: Fresh variety from 2026!

On Hainstraße in Bad Hersfeld, a new Edeka market is being built, which is planned as the largest of its kind in the district. The opening of the market is planned for the summer of 2026, such as Osthessen reports. The project is initiated by Thorsten Hellwig, an experienced operator of a total of 26 supermarkets in the region. The market is built in a building originally used by the post office that Hellwig acquired in 2015. The gutting work started in autumn 2023.

With a project volume in the lower seven -digit range, a total of around 4,500 square meters of usable space and over 3,000 square meters of retail space are planned for the new market. In addition, an extensive range of around 50,000 to 48,000 articles is expected, which attaches particular importance to freshness and diversity. In particular, the fruit and vegetable department as well as a planned butchery and bakery should be the focus of the offer.

parking and accessibility

An important improvement for customers is the planned creation of up to 280 parking spaces, which are provided both in front of the market and on a parking deck. The entrance to the new Edeka market will lead from Heinrich-von-Stephan-Straße. In addition, a barrier-free and walking connection between the market and the depot business in Bad Hersfelder City is to be realized. This will ensure accessibility for all population groups.

The market will offer a seat café with indoor and outdoor use and possibly also include a snack as well as service providers such as a branch of the Pfau and flower dealer butcher. However, the offer will not include “non-food” items such as clothing in order not to create a competition with downtown retailers, such as

The plans for the Edeka market are part of a comprehensive development concept that is intended to increase the attractiveness of Bad Hersfeld. Hellwig, however, regretted that the idea of ​​creating a large parking lot on the Rechberg site has failed.

Overall, the new EDEKA market will not only expand shopping in Bad Hersfeld, but will also make a significant contribution to the local economy by creating new jobs and strengthening the diversity of the offer in the region. Further information on existing Edeka branches are also available in the area to clarify the networking of the supermarket offer.
