Jumbo will open a new 2,000 m² store next year at Winkelplein Kort Ambacht, located in the Kort Ambacht neighborhood of Zwijndrecht. The shopping center, which in recent years has suffered from rising vacancy rates and increasing deterioration, is undergoing a complete renovation and redevelopment. The new plans will create a more compact center, reducing the number of retail units.
Together with the already established Dirk supermarket, Jumbo will strengthen the position of Kort Ambacht as a neighborhood shopping center. Developer NEOO, responsible for the redevelopment on behalf of two private owners, is expected to begin construction work in the fourth quarter of this year. The Jumbo store is slated to open its doors after the summer of next year.
