Company history/background
Your own story begins in Boxtel
Located in the heart of Boxtel's charming center, on lively Rechterstraat, lies a shop with everything it takes to continue a success story. A place where customers walk in for a book, a card, or inspiration – and linger for the experience and personal contact. Boxtel is a town with a strong local character. An engaged community, an active center, and a diverse clientele provide a stable foundation. Here, entrepreneurs still know their customers by name, and there is ample room to be truly visible. That is precisely what makes this location so attractive to an enterprising retailer.
Company activities
The shop with a face
The shop in Boxtel has been a familiar part of the town centre for years. Customers come not only for books, magazines, greeting cards, and gifts, but also for daily services such as the PostNL counter, the ING Service Point, and the Geldmaat. This combination ensures a constant stream of visitors and makes the shop a fixture in the daily lives of many Boxtel residents.
The store features approximately 120 m² of retail floor space and is efficiently laid out with a broad and up-to-date assortment. From books (the main revenue driver) to stationery, gifts, and games: the range perfectly caters to a broad target audience, from regular readers to families and local entrepreneurs. With a solid revenue base and a healthy margin, operations are stable. Moreover, the store is tobacco-free, ensuring a future-proof positioning focusing on stories, experience, and an inspiring assortment.
Unique selling points
The story of the entrepreneur
The shop is currently run by an entrepreneur who has been doing so with great pleasure for nine years now. Together with her team, she has built a close bond with the customers in Boxtel. “They have been nine wonderful years,” she says. “I still enjoy working in the shop immensely and have gotten to know many regular customers. That is what makes the work so enjoyable.”
It is precisely that personal contact and the role in the local community that make this shop special. At the same time, she is looking ahead. She wants to spend more time with her family and grandchildren in the future and is therefore seeking a successor who will continue her work with the same energy. During the handover period, she will remain involved and ensure a warm and careful transfer. This gives you, as the new entrepreneur, a flying start.

Your opportunity as an entrepreneur
With the departure of the entrepreneur, a unique opportunity arises for a new entrepreneur – or perhaps even an entrepreneurial duo. Someone who loves retail, people, and stories. As an entrepreneur, you benefit from a powerful combination: a proven store concept with national recognition and the space to make a difference locally. You will be supported in purchasing, marketing, store automation, and guidance by an experienced advisor.
Moreover, thanks to a strong online presence, you attract extra customers to your store, for example via click & collect. As the entrepreneur herself puts it: “It is an excellent opportunity for someone who would like to run their own store and be part of the shopping heart of Boxtel.”
