Shopping with a village feeling
The familiar, good atmosphere of Sportbaas has moved to the new location in the passage of Stadshart Zoetermeer. “The team is very customer-oriented and likes to think along with you,” says Karsten. “We are always open to a chat. I notice that we have many regular customers because of this, people enjoy shopping here. We really try to create a village feeling here.”
“The people I hire are all really interested in the customer. There are many adults working here who come from a different field and want to start something new. They are trained internally here and really enjoy doing this work. We also work together with training courses. For example, a blind student who is training to become a retail manager works here. He is very enthusiastic that he, like everyone else, has the opportunity to do so.”
Nice deals
What Karsten enjoys most about his work is selecting and purchasing his products. “People are so happy with our range and prices, I really like that. Customers come across such good deals here that they, so to speak, snatch the items out of your hands to take them home as quickly as possible.”
“We keep an eye on the average prices of the items online; nine times out of ten we are the cheapest. That makes it worthwhile for our customers not to do all their shopping online, but to visit our store. We have an outlet at the top of the store. There you can find even better deals. That’s where our summer collection is now located, so people who are going on a sun holiday soon can now buy swimwear here at an affordable price.”
