It was a shock for the thousands of employees and some customers will never receive the furniture they ordered. The insolvency of Kika/Leiner made numerous headlines in January. What will happen to the properties now?

In Tyrol, one of the many furniture stores was located in Rum, which is adjacent to the provincial capital of Innsbruck. Two weeks after the last shopping day, the Kika branch is still there. The parking spaces in front of the furniture giant are empty, the lights in the complex are off.

However, no concrete plans are known.

"There are already interested parties"
 The "Tiroler Krone" wanted to know if there were already plans for the property. When asked by the mayor of Rum, Josef Karbon, the head of the office said that "there are already interested parties". However, nothing is known about specific plans. "Further information should be requested from the landowner," he concluded.

It is still unclear what will be built on the site.

Kika Immobilien GmbH still in the land register
The "Krone" therefore asked the responsible district court in Hall about the owner of the site. "Please contact the press office of the Higher Regional Court in this regard," they said. The Higher Regional Court in turn referred the matter back to the District Court. In the end, the "Krone" organized an excerpt from the land register.

This still lists Kika Immobilien GmbH, based in St. Pölten, as the owner of the property.
