history
The first shop was opened in March 1967 by Jan Zeeman (1942–2020) in Alphen aan den Rijn . At first it was a kind of supermarket for clothes . A second branch was soon opened thanks to good sales figures. The distribution center is still in Alphen aan den Rijn in the Netherlands.
In 1999 Jan Zeeman retired from day-to-day business and handed it over to ex-Kijkshop director Paul Schouwenaar. Schouwenaar left the company in September 2006 and was replaced by Bart Karis in January 2007. Zeeman is still the owner of the business. On June 2, 2020, the founder and owner Jan Zeeman dies at the age of 78. He was one of the 25 richest people in the Netherlands.

Most of the clothes, which come from the Far East, lie loosely and openly in metal baskets like in a market.
