About us 

We are in business to save independent retail in Europe!

Across our towns and city centres, unique neighbourhood shops have been overshadowed by large chains and e-commerce giants. To combat this, we’ve created a BtoB wholesale marketplace designed to help independent retailers to compete against larger competitors and thus maintain a connected community of stores, brands and shoppers in the places we live.

Established in 2019 in France, we’ve since expanded to other European countries, including Spain, Germany, UK and the Netherlands. Driven by our commitment to customer satisfaction, we constantly innovate to develop cutting-edge tools and services that set new standards in the market.

Get in touch if you are looking to join a purpose-driven, international team that revolutionizes an old-fashioned industry!

Together Let’s Rewild Retail! 

The team 

Logistics is a pain for both retailers and brands. Independent retailers struggle with inventory management and reliable delivery, while brands prefer to focus on marketing and product. Our mission is to delight our customers by creating an amazing product and delivery experience. We want to set new standards for businesses and brands.

We help brands ship their orders seamlessly and everywhere by partnering with the most relevant logistics partners. We help retailers by respecting the promised delivery date, decreasing click-to-order lead times, securing inventory, and ensuring the products come in perfect condition.

So far, the products were all stored and prepared at the brand’s premises. We just rolled out our first Fulfillment offer, where Ankorstore stores products and prepares orders on behalf of the brand. We believe this is essential to reach new delivery service levels while decreasing our costs. Our first Fulfillment Center opened at the beginning of July 2022 and is currently ramping up as we are onboarding new brands.
