On Friday 10 June, OKay Zolder reopens its doors after undergoing a thorough facelift. The local supermarket with a surface of 455 m² has been renovated in the style of the latest generation of OKay stores, with a refurbished freshmart, additional cooling cabinets and a revamped bread corner, among other things. Menno Roelants and his team look forward to welcoming their customers.

Focus on fresh products and daily fresh bread

Thanks to the fresh and modern interior, customers of OKay Zolder can now find their way even more easily in the broad assortment of super fresh products. "In the new freshmart for instance, our broad offer of fresh fruit and vegetables can stand out completely," says store manager Menno. "We placed extra refrigeration units just outside the freshmart to showcase our tapas, cold sliced meat and pastries even better."

At OKay Zolder, fresh bread is delivered every day and store co-workers bake off high-quality rolls and pastries on the spot. "They are now even more neatly displayed in our renewed bread units. Much more convenient for our customers", Menno explains.

Top team from the region

All these novelties and improvements will contribute to a more pleasant shopping experience and make shopping even more efficient. But the biggest asset of OKay Zolder is undoubtedly the wonderful team of store co-workers. "Every day, I can count on a great team of 11 motivated co-workers.All of them people from the region around Zolder, for whom customer friendliness, good service and helpfulness always come first."

Easy to reach by car and bicycle

OKay Zolder has a very practical location and is easily accessible to everyone. The car park has room for 46 vehicles and cargo bikes can be safely put away in the bicycle shed.

Minimal environmental impact

Just like the other Colruyt Group store formats, OKay is firmly committed to building sustainably and with a minimal ecological footprint. No fossil fuels are used at OKay Zolder. The cooling system runs on propane, a natural coolant that is much more environment-friendly than chemical coolants and reduces CO2 emissions by 90%. In addition, the heat released by the refrigeration system is recovered to heat the store. Also, the car park has been laid with permeable pavers, allowing water to seep into the soil more easily.
