Schafis start up in Munich

That's us: the two founders of Schafi-Shop. We don't just want to make a cute impression on young families and put a smile on their faces when they shop with us. We also have really forward-looking features that we want to implement.

This is where we started in Munich. We started with a shelf from Metro - in the basement with about 6 square metres.

As you can see, we are always in a cool mood and can't hide our grin. And we want to infect you with this: smiling is so good, especially in special times. But also: smiling is the friendliest way to show your teeth to other people. Take your pick ;-)

We had to move several times, because we didn't have enough space in every Schafi place a little later - as you can see in the picture. After all, we only managed with our own money, without investors - so we were completely independent. Sheep don't like to be told what to do, they prefer to make all decisions themselves.

This year also saw the start of direct deliveries from the first Schafi cooperative producer: the Hipp company. A supplier that we Schafis still love today: a family business from Germany with many important values. Organic. Trust. Quality. That's why we love Hipp :-)

Schafis at the Gewerbehof Munich

Modern and really nice, much more space than before, which was great. But impractical, as only rooms on the upper floor were available. The pallets always had to go up via a goods lift - that takes time. A short time later, we sheep snatched up the rooms next door, but even that became too small.

And that's when we made a Schafi decision: we're leaving Munich. At the end of 2015, we moved to our banana wine production site.

Schafis in Althegnenberg

We also had to look at the map first: it is located between Munich and Augsburg, 25 minutes by train. At the end of a small street it appears: the new Schafi headquarters. On the left you can see the rolling gate where the trucks can dock. In front are the offices with the windows. Behind that is the warehouse. The hall is two storeys high - and so far we still have enough space. Finally :-)

What you don't see: to the right of the house begins a huge green meadow. You can also smell the piles of all the cows and hear them mooing, the stables are only a few metres away. When the farmer is not looking, we chill in the green grass during our break. We sheep love that.

And: we got our logo. From our graphic designer in Munich. Lovely and cuddly, isn't it?

Schafis Office

Here, one of our sheep rooms has been converted and now looks like this. We think it's really nice :-) By the way, the other sheep are already at home, I took the photo in the evening. That's why it's already dark.

We like a bit of green and always tidy up. Otherwise you won't find anything the next day. If you chat with one of us, we write from here or from the office next door. At the bottom right you can see if we are online at the moment.

Schafis Packing area

Our packing room no. 1 has been rebuilt. It got a touch screen so that we don't always have to look for a mouse and keyboard ;) The first boxes have already been prepared for the next day by one of the packing sheep.

In the back corner there are a few boxes from the pallet on a small trolley. This is regularly refilled by one of the other sheep. On the shelf is a label printer that spits out the labels. And below that is a small printer that prints out customs documents for the consignment if you have ordered from Switzerland or another non-EU country.

Schafis right before Xmas

Yes, I took a picture of the unloading of a small Haribo delivery. A whole lorry full of Haribo. That was just at the end of November, because you can see a small Haribo Advent calendar left over at the front. Who wouldn't dream of getting that much Haribo? Well, we really like Haribo, except for one fellow sheep (of course, the black sheep!).

The big sheepies are totally shy. They prefer to work in the background every day and want to send you your order quickly. That's why there was no face after our little Christmas party.

Schafis love gaming

What was going on in our car park in the morning? We couldn't even get through with our cars! Two big 40-ton trucks had been sent to us directly by Kosmos. Because you said you love the Kosmos games (but also the Schmidt games, only they didn't come here...) That's why they were completely full and only for us!

That's what it looked like in the warehouse. We had to put so many pallets away first. In the loading ramp, it went right up to the small ceiling. But in the hall we had more space upwards.
