Christophe Dehandschutter, director of Okay, explains: "The final destinations of our Comarkt stores have been known for some time now In East and West Flanders, several Comarkt stores will reopen as Okay stores. In four of these locations, we are partnering with Bon’Ap — including this new Okay in Mariakerke. Alongside Okay's familiar range, customers will also find Bon'Ap's extensive offering, including freshly prepared sandwiches, cold cuts, fresh meat and ready meals. This allows us to offer our customers a selection that showcases the strengths of both partners.”
