When the temperatures are rising outside, it is very pleasant inside the SES centers. Hot days put a strain on our bodies and circulation – especially for older people, children or people with pre-existing conditions. So more and more people are specifically looking for places where they can cool down, breathe deeply and feel good.

So to make it even easier for customers to buy ZEHNER with immediate effect, SES is now for the first time installing convenient voucher dispensers in four malls, which operate in just the same way as cash dispensers.
