“This is great, of course,” says current supermarket owner Henk van der Wilt. For him it not only means that he now has a permanent tenant for the property he owns, he is also happy for the village. “You can have it converted into apartments for the same money, but then Baambrugge will have no shop. We didn’t want that per se. Otherwise you would get a village like Loenersloot, a little further on. Dear people, but they don’t have a shop.”
