Güggeli-Express is no more

oh no!

I wonder what caused this? Rising costs? Reduced demand?

Luckily our local guggeli wagon comes from Natura Güggeli.

Just wondering why a company existed in first place. This is literally a man with a van with a grill in the back.

What are the economies of scale for operating 14 vans? The company looks like pure overhead costs.

It’s one of those things that become a weekly tradition for a family - roast chicken from the van every Tuesday for example.
These things rely on regular customers.

It is a franchise

You pay something upfront plus a monthly subscription and get a van and a monthly supply of chickens, etc.
