Thalia is a leading bookseller in the German-speaking market and the anchor of a fast-growing network of independent bookshops. Through the Thalia Partnermodell, an owner-operated bookshop trades under its own name and local identity while plugging into Thalia's purchasing power, logistics, merchandise-management and point-of-sale systems, and entire digital ecosystem. What is distinctive: you keep full entrepreneurial independence and your own brand, yet sell largely on a commission basis with goods supplied by Thalia, which removes the classic risk of inventory and tied-up capital.
