Turning Point and New Beginning
In the late '70s and early '80s, the company continued to expand by opening furniture stores and warehouses in Bad Wörishofen, Marsdorf and Schwabach. Further department stores with sales areas of between 40,000 and 60,000 square metres were also added, among other places in Karlsruhe and Pfarrkirchen, in Sankt Augustin near Cologne, in Neuss and Vienna.
Then in 1982, tragedy struck both the family and the company when Jost Hurler's son and designated successor was killed in a plane crash. Five of the company's top managers and both pilots also lost their lives. Jost Hurler decided to dispose of his retail businesses and lease most of his store premises, but retained possession of all of the properties. From this point on, his business interests were focused on the holding and management company. The move from retail to real estate had been made.
