About us 

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. However, faced with evolving consumer habits and the dominance of mass retail and e-commerce, these local businesses often struggle to adapt and innovate.
