Consumer Group Sues Rewe Over Lack of Price Transparency in App Promotions

The lawsuit alleges that Rewe's app fails to disclose product prices, requiring customers to visit stores to obtain full information.

  • The Verbraucherzentrale Baden-Württemberg has filed a lawsuit against Rewe in the Cologne Regional Court over its app's promotional practices.
  • The consumer group claims that the Rewe app displays potential bonus savings without providing the prices of the required products, such as grapes and sparkling wine.
  • Customers are reportedly unable to make informed purchasing decisions without visiting Rewe stores to learn the product prices.
  • Rewe has declined to comment on the ongoing legal proceedings but has been urged to stop advertising in this manner.
  • Similar complaints were previously raised against Lidl and Penny for app-exclusive pricing practices that allegedly violate price transparency regulations.
