Spiele Max in Trouble: Lawyer Ponders Restructuring Possibilities
With the insolvency of toy retailer Spiele Max in Stahnsdorf, Brandenburg, just south of Berlin, a court-appointed lawyer is analyzing if the company can be saved through restructuring. The future of the toy stores remains uncertain, as the administrator Torsten Martini shared, acknowledging ongoing discussions with the store's landlords. Previously, these reports emerged from "B.Z." Berlin and Rbb24.
The stores are at a clearance sale, with messages like "We're closing" displayed in their windows.
September saw the opening of insolvency proceedings at the Berlin-Charlottenburg Local Court as a result of SPM Filialbetriebs GmbH's financial troubles and insolvency. In this type of insolvency proceedings, known as self-administration, there is no insolvency administrator, but a trustee – in this case, Berling-based lawyer Martini, specializing in insolvency and restructuring law – oversees the processes. The company's leadership remains in charge.
Martini clarified that insolvency is not equivalent to a halt in operations. In fact, it's the opposite, assuring no plans for a nationwide closure of Spiele Max branches.
Spiele Max had previously faced a crisis some years ago and sought protection from creditors through a protective shield procedure in 2020.
As Martini investigates restructuring options for the insolvent toy retailer, negotiations with landlords continue. Despite the ongoing insolvency proceedings, Martini assures there are no plans for a complete closure of Spiele Max outlets across the country.
