After 10 years at Graefestrasse 75, our shop became too small. While kadó had started with around 60 types of liquorice in 1996, only 11 years later our range had developed to over 400 different types from Iceland down to Sicily. We were lucky – a shop across the road became available and we decided to move across to Graefestrasse 20.
The new shop was bigger, but still had a dividing wall through the shop floor. We needed more space, so we had to change the shop interior. By rearranging, we were able to improve some of our processes too.
Moving itself was easy – we didn’t even need a moving van! On Saturday we worked at No. 75 until closing time, then disassembled the furniture etc. and carried it across to No. 20. Friends and “kadó-letten” as we call our staff members, helped us move and after the weekend, we opened the shop on Tuesday at 9.30 in the new location.
