JDV, the international design agency specializing in retail design, joins as a partner of Supermarket & Space, the platform for connection, knowledge sharing and organizer of the annual Supermarket Real Estate Congress. “We are looking forward to the cooperation,” says Chris Rikkers of JDV. “We see a lot of common ground between our daily work and the topics covered within Supermarket & Space. Food retail is characterized by a very specific use of physical space, both in interior design and architecture. Applying this properly creates spaces that are commercially successful, guarantee the best customer experience, are functional and, of course, aesthetically pleasing. A new challenge here is to create spaces that are modular and flexible and therefore contribute to sustainability.” JDV is looking forward to the upcoming congress and the awarding of the “Most Beautiful Supermarket of the Netherlands,” of which JDV will be a co-name sponsor. This coveted award has become the authority on supermarket real estate. The most inspiring formulas are judged by a professional jury.

“Supermarket & Space is pleased to welcome a renowned party like JDV International as a sponsor of the platform and the Supermarket Real Estate Congress. JDV is a leader when it comes to concept realization, design and architecture of retail environments and, as a company, fits in perfectly with platform Supermarkt & Ruimte and certainly with the annual election of “Most beautiful new supermarket in the Netherlands”. JDV distinguishes itself with inspiration and a lot of creativity and these are also important core values for Supermarkt & Ruimte to position ourselves emphatically as a platform for inspiration, networking and knowledge sharing.”
