Blokker, a well-known Dutch retail chain founded in 1896, has declared bankruptcy after a decade of financial struggles. While its closure seems imminent, potential scenarios include a sale of the chain or partial continuation under its parent company, Mirage. Experts suggest limited interest in a full takeover, but Wibra has shown interest in certain locations. Meanwhile, Blokker’s nearly 400 stores and 45 franchisees remain operational as they evaluate the implications of the bankruptcy. The fate of Blokker will soon become clearer as stakeholders explore options for the future.
