With decades of experience in retail and building marketplaces, in 2019 the Ankorstore founding team knew it was time to create a global wholesale solution to swing the balance in favour of independents and return them to their rightful place – at the centre of their communities.
Today, Ankorstore is a partner to more than 30,000 unique European brands and over 300,000 independent retailers across Europe who strive to stock their shops with authentic products that aren’t offered by the e-commerce giants.
Ankorstore’s activity across Europe tripled in the first four months of 2021, despite half of Ankorstore's affiliated retailers closing their doors during lockdowns.
