MEGA Stockach

What MEGA Stockach does

MEGA Stockach (legal entity: MEGA Stockach Das Fach-Zentrum für die Metzgerei und Gastronomie GmbH) is a single-location Cash & Carry (C&C) wholesale market and specialty supplier headquartered at Reichenauring 1, 78333 Stockach, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Operating since 2011 directly on the A98 autobahn, the business serves professional buyers in the food industry — primarily butcher shops (Metzgerei) and gastronomy/hospitality operators (restaurants, hotels, caterers) — across a tri-border catchment covering the German Lake Constance shore, Black Forest, Swabian Alb, Allgäu, and extending into western Switzerland and Austrian Vorarlberg. It is a branch of the parent cooperative MEGA Das Fach-Zentrum für die Metzgerei und Gastronomie eG, headquartered in Stuttgart.

The core platform is a 7,000+ m² physical C&C market stocking approximately 50,000 specialist articles across food (meat and sausage, dry assortment, fresh produce, dairy, frozen, beverages including wine/spirits and non-alcoholic) and non-food (professional workwear, butcher supplies, gastronomy equipment, hygiene, machinery). A daily delivery service extends the reach across the Lake Constance region. MEGA holds its own slaughtering, cutting, and artisanal meat production licenses (EZ/EV 908, BW-ES 108), offers organic-trading certification, and operates six proprietary own-brand lines (StaufenFleisch, Bad Boller Strohschwein, Staufer Strohschwein, MENÜPLAN, SachsenGlück, DEFTI). Value-added services include kitchen planning over 500 m² of equipment display, knife sharpening, embroidery for workwear, LMIV food-information compliance support, and on-site equipment repair via mobile workshop vehicles, plus a Sunday/holiday emergency service during the April–October season.

Revenue is generated through B2B wholesale transactions — direct on-site purchase at the C&C market and phone/email orders routed through a dedicated bestellhotline for regional delivery. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated for bulk professional orders (no public pricing). Customers can place orders via a meat pickup market open early morning (Mon–Fri 05:00–9:00) or during standard market hours (Mon–Fri 07:30–17:30, Sat 08:00–13:00). Cross-border Swiss customers are supported with VAT refund handling. Marketing reaches customers through the company website, trade show participation (Intergastra), culinary events with regional partners (Südlandköche, Gutes vom See), social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), and an email newsletter. No app, API, or proprietary digital ordering platform is offered; the company employs ~13 people at this location.

Direct peers

• FrischeParadies: Specialist premium Cash & Carry focusing on fresh, delicatessen, and gourmet products for chefs; comparable to MEGA's fresh-deli and specialty offerings for gastronomy professionals.
• METRO AG: Europe's largest Cash & Carry foodservice wholesaler operating multi-category wholesale markets serving HoReCa and independent retailers; the closest direct competitor to MEGA Stockach's C&C-plus-delivery model, albeit at vastly greater scale.
• Chefs Culinar: Germany-based foodservice Cash & Carry and delivery wholesaler specializing in large-kitchen catering, restaurants, and hotels; competes head-to-head with MEGA in southern Germany for professional gastronomy buyers.
• Selgros Cash & Carry: German Cash & Carry operator with multi-category assortment for trade customers including HoReCa; overlaps directly with MEGA's broad-line foodservice wholesale positioning.
• Handelshof: Traditional German Cash & Carry wholesaler serving HoReCa and retail trade across multiple categories, comparable in assortment breadth and B2B trade-customer focus to MEGA Stockach.
• Transgourmet Deutschland: Owned by Coop Group, Transgourmet operates Cash & Carry markets and foodservice delivery across Germany targeting restaurants, hotels, and commercial kitchens — a direct regional competitor to MEGA's gastronomy supply business.

Regional players

• Sligro Food Group: Benelux-based Cash & Carry and foodservice wholesaler serving HoReCa customers — comparable in operating model but geographically distinct, useful as a reference for international foodservice C&C operations.

Broad incumbents

• Edeka Foodservice: Wholesale arm of Edeka Group serving independent HoReCa and retail customers; broader incumbent with overlapping assortment but distributed nationally rather than regionally focused like MEGA.
• Lekkerland (REWE Group): Wholesale specialist within REWE Group serving convenience, gastronomy, and food-service channels across Europe; broader incumbent with overlapping B2B foodservice supply.
• Sysco Corporation: Largest global broadline foodservice distributor; while not a direct geographic competitor, it represents the scaled global analogue of MEGA's B2B foodservice distribution model and benchmarks the structural economics of the industry.
