Back to Retail
Essence
Before mass production, corporations and chains, there was independent retail. As we look to the future, we go back to

17th - 26th Oct.
The Friday of Independent Retail
What is #BreakFreeday?
Black Friday is a day when most small businesses suffer due to meaningless percentage discounts and mass production.

This Black Friday, we’re bringing the colour. Instead of following the masses, we want to break free!

#BreakFreeday is a day to celebrate each one of our retail businesses. It’s a day...



To celebrate helping, not harming.

To celebrate
quality, not excess.

To celebrate
resisting, not conforming.

To celebrate
uniqueness, not mass production.

To celebrate
increasing margins, not stress.


Because this is what makes independent retail. And that is what we believe in. 

We are facilitators of change. We strive to bring diversity, colour and creativity back to the streets. Now more than ever, we’re committed to enabling the conditions for independent retailers, like you, to thrive.



On #BreakFreeday, be free to choose whether you want to open or close your store. Whether you want to add discounts or not. No matter your choice, we will support you and give you the best price to stay competitive.



We want to lead this explosion of diverse and unique brands and stores. Join our movement.

What is #BreakFreeday?

#BreakFreeday is Ankorstore’s answer to Black Friday – a holiday that often negatively impacts independent businesses. This Black Friday we’re doing all we can to celebrate and support our retailer partners, so they can grow their margins during this crucial sales period, and avoid unwanted stress and unnecessary losses.
How does #BreakFreeday work?

From 17th - 26th October, brands on Ankorstore have the option to add a discount to their catalogues of between 5% and 40%. Ankorstore will add an additional 5% to each brand’s discount, giving our retailers up to 45% off. In addition, Ankorstore Plus users will get 10% off discovery orders during the event (plus 2 months of free shipping if they join during the event).
