Unique selling points

What distinguishes this branch within the franchise is the combination of a wide range of products, immediate cash payment upon purchase, and the buyback option. This mix is ​​broader than at many traditional second-hand shops or thrift stores.

The concept is proven: thanks to the long history of the formula, nationwide coverage, and central support from headquarters (purchasing, marketing, automation, training), operations offer relatively low entry barriers compared to an independent new business.

Moreover, the acquisition of this store benefits from an existing customer base, reputation, and store layout. You are stepping into an established, well-running business, not from scratch.

Other

• The retail space is approximately 100 m² (with a total of approximately 230 m² of premises space including office and warehouse).

• The acquisition price is such that a start can be made with a relatively low equity contribution.

• Because the store is offered under a franchise agreement, this means that the new entrepreneur takes over operations within a proven franchise concept. The franchisee receives support from headquarters (purchasing, marketing, automation, training), makes use of collective purchasing and – if desired – the joint webshop, but is personally responsible for day-to-day business operations.

• This setup offers the advantage of collaborating with an established network formula on the one hand, and the independence and room to do business locally on the other. Ideal for someone with an entrepreneurial mindset who wants to get started without going through the entire start-up process of a new store.
