Company activities
The liquor store is part of a franchise. Since its founding in 1974, the franchise has been one of the largest specialty liquor stores in the Netherlands. Since 2016, the unique franchise has been 100% franchised, with the entrepreneurs jointly owning 50% of the business. The remaining 50% is held by De Monnik Dranken, a family business that has been importing and distributing beverages for over 100 years.
The concept distinguishes itself as a full-service liquor store with a wide range of products including craft beers, unique spirits, gifts, and wines exclusively available through this franchise. In addition to this assortment, there is ample extra scope for entrepreneurs to specialize in local products and demand.
