What does our expertise domain Retail stand for?
In our Retail Business Unit we bring quality products to the end consumer. With 200 Aveve shops and agricultural centers as well as 3 Eurotuin shops, Arvesta operates across Belgium. This extensive network can rely on passionate Aveve franchisees with knowledge of the business in addition to the owned Aveve shops. As an independent entrepreneur, the franchisee is the trusted point of contact for local farmers, horticulturists and consumers for a complete and wide range of quality products. Together with them, Arvesta continues to grow every day. Aveve is also the market leader in Belgium in the sale of flour and flour mixes to consumers. We also distribute Niamh, inspiring bread and baking mixes with a worldly touch, and Soezie, with whom we have been developing and producing high-quality flour and flour mixes for over 100 years.
"We want to provide sustainable and quality products to the consumers. That is the reason why we work with a short supply chain in our Aveve shops and why we continuously innovate in our own flour R&D center. Moreover, we want to offer consumers a total package. We have grown into a real inspiration place for garden, pets and food , offering our customers tips & tricks to get started at home. Pleasure grows with us!"
- Stefan De Clercq, BU Director Retail
