Specsavers

With more than 140 shops nationwide, the Netherlands is one of the largest markets for international optical retail chain Specsavers Group. All shops operate in a partnership structure and, as such, local business owners are co-responsible for their own shop. Specsavers therefore consistently speaks of ‘partners’ and not of franchisees or retailers, as we quickly noticed when we asked Business Development Manager Okke Weimar and Patrick Zwiers, partner in the Haarlem Specsavers shop, about their experiences with Bulsink.

House of Rituals

In October 2020, the House of Rituals opened the first two of its four floors in the centre of Amsterdam. This is not the usual kind of Rituals store of 80 square metres, but a four-storey department store of 3,000 m2 featuring a restaurant as well as a “body spa” and a “mind spa”, where visitors can immerse themselves fully in everything the brand signifies.

In a video recorded during the construction project, Raymond Cloosterman (founder and CEO) and Richard Lems (the Format and Design Director), explain how they imagine the House of Rituals to be, what is involved in the achieving such a dream, and why Rituals has already been working with Bulsink for more than 15 years.
