    "body": "<p><strong>On Wednesday 9 July 2025, the Colruyt Lowest Prices store in Hoogstraten will reopen its doors. The store on Sint-Lenaartsweg has undergone renovations including a renewed butcher&#039;s department and a new bread unit.</strong> <strong>The store layout has also been optimised to make shopping even more pleasant and efficient &mdash; all at the lowest prices.</strong> <strong>Shoppers can once again pick up their groceries at the Collect&amp;Go pick-up point.</strong> <strong>Sustainability was also a key focus during the renovation works.</strong> <strong> A team of 28 co-workers and 7 butchers are ready to welcome customers to the renewed store.</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><h4 id=\"optimised-store-layout-and-renewed-butchers-department\" ><strong>Optimised store layout and renewed butcher&rsquo;s department</strong></h4><p>Shopping at Colruyt Hoogstraten is now even more pleasant and efficient thanks to the optimised shop layout, which spans nearly 1,500 m&sup2;. Customers will notice a number of changes in the butcher&rsquo;s department. For example, the selection of cold cuts has now been integrated into the updated butcher&rsquo;s department. Just like the fresh meat, it is attractively displayed in closed, transparent refrigerators. Store manager Filip Verstappen: &ldquo;Customers can find all their meat products &mdash; freshly prepared every day by our butchers &mdash; in one central area. They can also see the butchers at work in the open workshop, and easily approach them with any questions or special requests.&rdquo; \u200b The bread unit was also upgraded to help preserve the quality of the fresh bread for longer and speed up checkout.</p><p>At the end of their visit, customers will notice that the checkouts and payment units have been lowered, making it easier to speak with co-workers in the open checkout area. </p><h4 id=\"welcome-back-to-collectgo\" ><strong>Welcome back to Collect&amp;Go</strong></h4><p>Customers who prefer to pick up their groceries directly can do so at the Collect&amp;Go point in Colruyt Hoogstraten. Collect&amp;Go is Colruyt Group&rsquo;s convenient online grocery service. Customers simply send their shopping list via collectandgo.be or the Xtra app. Co-workers then prepare the order for the selected time slot[HV1] . Customers can also opt for home delivery, using Drivers&mdash;local private couriers from the area.</p><h4 id=\"extra-focus-on-sustainability\" ><strong>Extra focus on sustainability</strong></h4><p>Sustainable building is a key priority for Colruyt Group, and it was central to the renovation of Colruyt Hoogstraten. The lighting was replaced with energy-efficient LED lamps equipped with motion sensors, cutting energy use by up to 30%. As for heating, 75% of the residual heat from the refrigeration system is recovered via the ventilation system. Sustainability is also applied in the car park: there are 8 new and extra-wide bicycle stands, and a brand-new charging area for electric vehicles with 3 fast chargers (6 cars) and 1 regular charger (2 cars).</p><h4 id=\"festive-reopening-on-tuesday-8-july\" ><strong>Festive reopening on Tuesday 8 July</strong></h4><p>Store manager Filip Verstappen: &ldquo;Together with my team of 28 co-workers and 7 butchers, I look forward to welcoming our customers once again. That starts on Tuesday evening already, as they&rsquo;ll get an exclusive preview of the store with drinks and snacks. We&rsquo;ll have tasters ready to enjoy.&rdquo;</p><p>For more information, please contact:</p><ul class=\"release-content-list release-content-list--bulleted release-content-list--align-inherit\"><li><span>Christophe Deschepper (regional manager) at 02 345 23 45.</span></li><li><span>Eva Biltereyst (Press Officer Colruyt Lowest Prices) at 0479 72 29 10</span></li></ul><h4 id=\"practical-information\" ><strong>Practical information</strong></h4><p>Colruyt Hoogstraten<br>\u200bSint-Lenaartsweg 20A<br>\u200b2320 Hoogstraten</p><p>Opening hours<br>\u200bMon - Sat: 8:30 am - 8:00 pm<br>\u200bFri: 8:30 am - 9 pm</p><p><a href=\"https://www.colruyt.be/content/dam/clp/zip/hoogstraten-heropening.zip\"><strong>Download the photos here &gt;</strong></a></p>",
