Retail company
As a retail company, customer trust is key to us. We therefore want to continue to meet their wishes and needs and make life easier for them, now and in the future.
Customers are the reason for existence.
Our customers have increasingly multifaceted expectations and needs. We want to provide relevant and sustainable answers. The main customer needs we want to focus on are:
- Budget: Life has become more expensive for everyone lately and for more and more customers it has become important to keep a close eye on their budget.
- Sustainability: more and more people are aware of the importance of this topic and are looking for ways to live and consume more sustainably.
- Health: being and staying healthy is an ambition that consumers today are actively working on.
- Convenience: not every consumer has the same needs and preferences. Customers want to be able to choose the offer that suits them best at any time.
We are committed to sustainable entrepreneurship so that our customers can consume more consciously. As a strong local player, we continue to innovate this commitment. We offer our customers added value in 3 ways:
We make it as easy as possible for them to meet their needs and unburden them.
We empower them to make more conscious choices.
We want to connect customers, to society and to our company.
