Not only KFC is breathing new life into Klagenfurt's pedestrian zone. Klagenfurt's oldest eyewear store is also relocating to Kramergasse.

Now the pedestrian zone is coming back to life! On July 31st, the new fast food outlet KFC opens in Kramergasse, and the classy Boss-Palast also has a new tenant: Buffa, the oldest eyewear store in Klagenfurt, is moving in at the end of October.

At the old location for over a hundred years
"Our business was founded in 1857 and we used to be located on Kramergasse, but in the Rainerhof," explains Managing Director Ines Hrassnig. "Like Heyn and Wolf, we are first-time tenants and have been in the building since 1889." The "Buffa" master workshop used to occupy a total of three floors. "Customers entered the vision measurement rooms via a second entrance. We have the children's department in the basement. This is often difficult for older people to reach via the stairs," says Hrassnig.

More accessibility
This is no longer the case in the Boss-Haus. "We have accessibility there. That's very important." There is also a lift in the former fashion store. "I'm taking all the employees with me, many of whom have been with us for decades. We're already looking forward to it."
