Company history/background
Anyone who lives in Bennekom knows Dorpsstraat. And chances are you know this bookstore too.
Just popping in for a book. Picking up a magazine. Choosing a card that says exactly what you find hard to put into words yourself. Dropping off a package at PostNL. Or simply asking if that one book can still be ordered. The same entrepreneurs have been standing behind the counter for years. They have turned this bookstore into a shop with a permanent place in Bennekom. But to every story comes a moment when a new chapter begins.
That is why we are looking for a new entrepreneur. And preferably someone who already knows Bennekom and the people who live there a little. Someone from the village or the immediate area who understands that a shop like this is more than just a place where products are sold. You are visible, know your customers, and get the chance every single day to make a difference locally.
Company activities
You are not alone in this. The bookstore is affiliated with a franchise. You operate independently, with a proven franchise behind you and support in areas including purchasing, marketing, store automation, and business operations. The connection to the website also gives you the benefits of a nationwide omnichannel franchise, while you remain the local face of the store. Perhaps you live in Bennekom. Perhaps in Ede, Wageningen, or somewhere nearby. And perhaps you will soon walk past this store again with a different perspective. Not as a customer. But with the thought: could this be my store?
Then I would love to talk to you. First, just getting to know each other, hearing your ideas, and seeing together if entrepreneurship and this shop are a good fit for you.
