Launched in 2019 by four co-founders, experts in the retail and marketplace sectors, Ankorstore has established itself as Europe's leading B2B platform connecting brands and independent retailers. Ankorstore is built on a simple yet vital insight: independent retailers are essential to the vibrancy and attractiveness of our town centres.

To address this, Ankorstore has developed an innovative, global, technology-driven solution that enables independent retailers to diversify their product ranges while benefiting from competitive commercial terms. Brands, in turn, benefit from a strong network and efficient tools to extend their reach and boost their activity. By empowering retailers to compete with major players, Ankorstore aims to transform long-term collaboration between brands and retailers.
