Cheese and delicatessen store

A cheese and delicatessen store located in the heart of a historic Hanseatic town. The store is traditionally a dairy store which the previous entrepreneur developed into a cheese specialty store. The current entrepreneur, who has operated the store for more than 10 years, has further expanded the store to what it is today. The business is offered for sale due to the age of the current entrepreneur, in addition she has physical complaints that make handling heavy cheeses increasingly difficult.

Business activities
Although cheese is obviously offered in local supermarkets, the store distinguishes itself in quality and assortment without being much more expensive than the supermarkets. The store offers high-quality artisanal cheeses from North Holland, complemented by an extensive assortment of foreign and seasonal cheeses. In addition, the assortment includes (roasted) nuts, olives, tapas, wines to match the cheeses and a sausage assortment made especially for the store. The store is a leader in its field in the location. In addition, the store has a look that suits the historical character of the location. Doesburg is a much visited tourist attraction for mostly people with a better spending pattern. The service can be adapted to this tourist flow by the next entrepreneur with, for example, a sandwich service or something similar. There are significant opportunities to expand services.

The organization
The store is ideally suited to be operated by one person. The current entrepreneur has, partly due to age and physical constitution, assistance from a part-time employee at busy times. The current entrepreneur rents the store; the landlord is prepared to enter into a rental agreement with the new entrepreneur.
