The Bladel-based webshops of Foris, formerly better known as TOM, are not affected by a bankruptcy of sports stores in the same group of companies.

In August 2022, bankrupt webshop giant TOM made a relaunch in slimmed-down form. The new owners renamed the company Foris. Between 60 and 70 of the 264 employees were able to stay on.

Three Wijtman Sport stores are in financial trouble due to hefty rent increases of up to more than 15 percent. Four other branches are being dragged into the bankruptcy.

The store branch in question "is separate from Foris," director Martijn Nelissen tells the . Foris is going to focus mainly on bicycles. Van TOM took over the bicycle brand Amigo. Bicycles will soon be added under the name Rucanor, a brand of one of the other companies in the group over which Nelissen has sway.
