Brand-new Colruyt store in Beernem provides 23 new jobs

On Wednesday 9 January, a brand-new Colruyt store opens its doors at Hubert d’Ydewallestraat in Beernem. With a surface of 1.536 m², the store can welcome a large number of customers and offer them a vast range of products. By opening this new store, Colruyt creates 23 new jobs. Moreover, Colruyt Beernem is a low-energy store with optimum insulation and ventilation.

Complete product range on more than 1.500 m²

The new Colruyt store is near the approach/exit of the E40/A10 so it is easily accessible. By means of a nice green drive, customers reach the store's car park that has 153 parking spaces.
​"We want to make sure our customer can shop pleasantly and smoothly", says store manager Philip Decleir. "It starts with a sufficiently large car park and it continues in the store. On 1,536 m², customers can find a wide product range of national brands and the trusted private labels Boni Selection and Everyday in every department. And 7 check-outs ensure a fluent service."

Butcher's department with open workshop

Customers can choose their fresh quality meat in the self-service butcher's counter. Head butcher Erwin Treve: "Customers can see the butchers at work in an open workshop and talk to them if they have questions or a special order. They also have a nice overview of the range of meat, cold cuts and salads.”

23 new jobs

The new store also brings extra employment. "At Colruyt Beernem, 23 co-workers can start", says the store manager. "They will put their best foot forward to serve our customers every day."

Collect&Go shops for the customers

Colruyt Beernem also has a Collect&Go pick-up point. "Collect&Go is a handy Colruyt Group service where we shop for the customers", says the store manager. "They send their shopping list to collectandgo.be or via the app, and the Collect&Go employees have their products ready at the pick-up point on the day and time of their choice.”

Low-energy store: 4 % less CO2

Colruyt Beernem is a low-energy store with optimum insulation in the front and roof. It is also hermetically finished. The store is equipped with sustainable technology such as a refrigeration system with propene, heat recovery from the ventilation and solar panels on the roof. Philip Decleir: "This project is part of a more comprehensive renovation plan: by 2029, all Colruyt Group stores should be low-energy stores.  The group's CO2 emissions have to go down by 4 %.”

Special open house

From Wednesday 9 January, store manager Philip Decleir, head butcher Erwin Treve and their 21 co-workers will be on hand to welcome their customers to the brand-new Colruyt Beernem.
​ Philip Decleir: "The evening before, on Tuesday 8 January from 5 to 8 p.m., everyone is invited for a store preview. During this special open house, customers will be offered snacks and a drink. Everyone is most welcome!"
