"A few dozen of the sheep had other ideas about the route and made their way into a store of the Penny retail chain. It was impossible to tell whether the sheep were looking for something particular on offer or just wanted to warm up, the company said in a statement, noting that the flock seemed particularly fond of the checkout area where shoppers and staff were present."
"Witnesses said that while the animals resisted the urge to nibble their way through the fresh produce on display, their foray into the store left a path of destruction in the drinks section as their bustling knocked glass bottles and other products from the shelves. Video showed the sheep bleating but otherwise looking more curious than anxious amid the detritus."
"Even the German embassy in London couldn't resist a pun-filled post about the fluffy new mascots. 50 runaway sheep ram-paged through a German supermarket in rural Baa-varia, causing shear mania on Monday morning, it posted on X. After breaking away from their 500-strong herd, the brazen sheep spent 20mins milling around in the Penny supermarket before ewe-turning and seeing themselves out."
About 50 sheep broke off from a 500-strong flock during a seasonal migration and wandered into a Penny supermarket in Burgsinn, Bavaria. The animals roamed the aisles for around 20 minutes, showing curiosity and congregating near the checkout area. The sheep caused damage in the drinks section by knocking glass bottles and other products from shelves while largely avoiding fresh produce. Approximately 20 customers present remained calm as staff and others coaxed the animals back outside. The animals rejoined their flock after being escorted away, and the retailer declined to bill the shepherd, instead noting the publicity.
