New construction for 'De Kweker' starting soon

With the unveiling of the construction sign at the Food Center Amsterdam, the symbolic start of the new Cash & Carry wholesale outlet for ‘De Kweker’ in Amsterdam took place on Monday, September 29.

An important step
Alderman Van Weyenberg (Land and Development): “Construction is finally starting at the Food Center. It’s a place with a rich history and many stories in Amsterdam. The current business park is transforming into a modern and sustainable mixed-use residential and work area. Businesses come first. It’s important that the companies that feed the city get a new place at the Food Center.”

New building for ‘De Kweker’
‘De Kweker’, part of Sligro Food Group since 2019, has been active at this location since 1949. It has grown into a wholesale supplier for the hospitality industry, offering a wide range of products and proudly collaborating closely with local suppliers.
Kees Kiestra, Director Cash & Carry: “We and our customers are extremely happy to begin construction. For hospitality entrepreneurs in the city, it’s crucial to have access to daily business supplies within the ring and close to the city center. ‘De Kweker’ has always been a great example of ‘the belly of Amsterdam’ and will become even more so with our new Cash & Carry facility.”

Sligro Food Group will begin construction of the new Cash & Carry for 'De Kweker' in November.
