Jos Groenendijk, head of stores at Coolblue: "We are incredibly happy that we now also have a store in Limburg. Many customers already know which product they want, but want to see, hear or hold it themselves before choosing. From today, that is also possible in Sittard-Geleen, with a team ready to help customers personally. Whether you are looking for a new TV, a washing machine or just coming to pick up your online order." With the help of advice elements and digital services, customers can easily make the right choice. Via the Coolblue app, they compare products with a QR code in the store and find extra information to get to know products better. On arrival, customers can easily register for advice, for help after purchase or for collecting an online order. Fast pickup with the parcel machine. There is also a Coolblue parcel machine in Geleen. Customers who choose this pickup option receive an email with a QR code and a PIN code.
