Colette Cloosterman-van Eerd, director Marketing and Formula, mentions that it is not easy to organize a large supermarket. "We went abroad for inspiration. We wanted a pleasant, well-organized, but also a sturdy shop, without losing the Jumbo identity. Jumbo Foodmarkt combines hotel and restaurant with shopping. We are very proud of the result and do not exclude opening up the concept in other municipalities."
Shopping at Jumbo Foodmarkt is an experience. "Whilst shopping, one can gain inspiration from chefs and professionals, who (there and then) prepare and allow you to taste the nicest dishes. From handmade sushi and crunchy Italian pizza to Dutch regional dishes. Asian curry dishes and soups from traditionally prepared stock. And everything at unbelievably low prices," says Colette.
