PIPOOS TO LEASE IN ALMERE AND PURMEREND

Kroonenberg Groep has reached an agreement with pipoos for two long-term leases. The Almere lease concerns a retail space of approximately 220 m2 at Stationsstraat 18-20. The old Game Mania and Miss Elite shops were merged to create the premises. The lease commenced on 1 January and the shop opened last week after the renovation. In Purmerend, the lease concerns a retail space of 181 m2 located at Hoogstraat 4-6. This lease commenced 1 March 2025 and the shop will open later this spring.

Pipoos has been in business since 1992 and has been the largest retail chain of hobby shops in the Netherlands and Belgium for more than 30 years. Pipoos is part of the Swedish company Panduro. Panduro also develops much of the range under its own brand name, a wide selection of which can be found in pipoos shops and online. The Panduro range distinguishes pipoos as a unique hobby shop with an exclusive range.

Kroonenberg Groep was advised in these transactions by KroesePaternotte.
