  "account": "In the quiet town of Axstedt, in lower Saxony, a unique supermarket called Tante Enso has emerged. The entrance to this establishment costs a hefty 100 Euros for membership, a requirement for customers seeking to shop after hours or without staff. Established just three years ago, Tante Enso has become the sole supermarket in the village of 1,200 inhabitants. Bernd Manitzky, a resident, and Olivia Akomewo, his girlfriend, are among those who have embraced this innovative concept. The community itself financed this venture, with each member contributing 100 Euros to secure their spot. The store, located in a backstreet building, offers 2,500 products across 160 square meters, comparable to an average discount store. Unlike traditional supermarkets, Tante Enso operates around the clock and is staffless. The membership fee ensures customer data collection, used solely to enhance product selection and prevent theft. The goal is to become a friendly, neighborhood retailer, even though the company is part of a larger German supermarket chain, Tegut, which is owned by the Swiss Migros group. Plans are in place to expand Tante Enso's reach to 300 stores by 2030, starting with the takeover of 36 Tegut outlets in Hessen, Thuringia, and North Bavaria.",
