Renovated Colruyt Aalter half the size bigger

On Wednesday 3 April, the renovated Colruyt store in Aalter opens. The supermarket was expanded and is half the size bigger now; the Collect&Go pick-up point doubled its surface. Customers can now find an even broader range of products in their store. Moreover, there is a brand-new butcher's department and 3 extra co-workers can start to work in the renovated store.

Complete assortment on 1,900 m²

The former Colruyt store in Aalter had become too small to shop comfortably. "That is why we made it half the size bigger", says store manager Heinz Deblaere. "The renovated store covers nearly 1.900 m². A larger store means a larger range of products, in the frozen products department and the fresh market for instance.It also means we have enough work for 3 extra co-workers. And 8 checkout stations to ensure a fluent service. Our new, larger car park now has 154 places, 88 of which are covered."

Butcher's department with open workshop

Customers can choose their fresh quality meat in the self-service butcher's department. Head butcher Alain Dewulf: "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.”

Collect&Go pick-up point doubled in size

The Collect&Go pick-up point in the covered car park of Colruyt Aalter is renovated and almost twice as large as it used to be. Collect&Go is a handy Colruyt Group service, where we shop for the customers. They give us their shopping list online or by means of the app. The products are ready for them at the pick-up point by the day and time they chose.

Special open evening on 2 April

From Wednesday 3 April, store manager Heinz Deblaere, head butcher Alain Dewulf and their 27 co-workers will be on hand to welcome their customers at Colruyt Aalter.
​"The evening before everyone can come and discover the new store", says the store manager. "During this special open evening, from 5 to 8 pm, we will gladly offer our customers a snack and a drink. Everyone is most welcome!"
