History

The first store was opened by Jan Zeeman in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands in March 1967. It was a kind of supermarket for clothes and proved to be quite a success, leading to the opening of more stores. The distribution centre is still located in Alphen aan den Rijn. Zeeman's house colors are yellow and blue. The logo of the store is a head of a sailor. Store interiors and merchandise packaging are intended to radiate simplicity.

Jan Zeeman retired from the daily management of the company in 1999, which came to be led by former Kijkshop director Paul Schouwenaar. Schouwenaar left the company in September 2006, to be succeeded by Bart Karis from January 2007. Zeeman remained the owner of the company until his death in 2020.[1]
