The entrepreneurs do not sit still and do everything possible for their customers!
Many shops are physically closed due to the corona measures. However, the entrepreneurs are not sitting still and are doing everything they can to make life as easy as possible for the people of Dordrecht in these difficult times. The Dordrecht shopkeepers come to you. Moreover, by ordering locally online, the knife cuts both ways. The entrepreneurs can use the extra support all too well. For a complete overview of all local entrepreneurs, please visit www.shoplokaaldordrecht.nl. The lockdown is annoying, but thanks to a lot of creative Dordt shopkeepers, we don't have to be bored and we can also visit our favourite local shopkeepers online!
Bahlmann Mode | Personal shopping at home
Are you looking for a nice outfit? Or have you already seen something nice on the website or the social media? The friendly staff at Bahlmann will be happy to help you over the phone or even via facetime. Based on your wishes and taste they will come to you with a clothes rack full of nice items! This way you can try it on at home at your leisure. If it is not to your liking, they just take the items back. Everything is completely free of obligations.
Would you like them to visit you? Then make an appointment by calling or app. 06 52 66 66 32 or send a DM (on Instagram). During the visit they will of course take all precautions for optimal safety and they will follow the advice of the RIVM. More good news: at the end of January or beginning of February Bahlmann Mode will have a webshop!
Vos & Van der Leer | Readings for the whole family
At Vos & Van der Leer, all channels are open for placing orders. The sporty staff will then deliver your order by bike in Dordrecht, free of charge, through all weathers. After all, now that we are home so much, there is plenty of time to grab a good book. Pleasant fiction as a distraction and travelling in thoughts is fortunately still possible at all times, even with curfew. Do you take advantage of the corona opportunity to develop a new hobby at home, like gardening or cooking? That too is possible, of course, with the right books. Think of colouring books, diaries and puzzles, these can also be found at Vos & Van der Leer. You can order via a DM (Instagram), by mail vosvdleer@libris.nl or by phone via 078 648 99 11.
Intertoys | As personal as possible
People in Dordrecht who place orders via the Intertoys webshop automatically arrive at the shop in the city centre. You don't really notice anything until you get a call from one of the employees. When do you want the order delivered? Does it have to be packed? Do you need batteries or advice? They can meet all your requirements. The same day, or the day after at the latest, one of the team members will deliver the order to your home. Of course, completely coronaproof and free of charge from € 15,-. You can also order or ask for advice via the number 078 614 38 26, which can be reached via Whatsapp or by telephone. The starting point of Intertoys is to make it as cosy as possible during this period.
Grandparents who order a gift for a grandchild are even sent a photo or video of the moment when the gift reaches the child. In this way, they can still be there a little bit. What is particularly popular during the lockdown: games, puzzles and the new Lego (which, by the way, is also great fun for older people!).
Sportcentrum Dordrecht | Staying fit in Corona time
Leisurewear and running shoes are definitely doing better online than before the lockdowns at Sportcentrum Dordrecht. Now that we are all home much more and can only exercise outside, the clothing had better be comfortable, right? On the website, you will find plenty of choice in sportswear, running shoes and accessories. Sportcentrum Dordrecht is fortunate in the contacts they have with sports clubs, associations and schools for whom they provide printed teamwear and bags.
The added value of the Sports Centre for 41 years is its expertise, hospitality and accessibility. You can park right outside the door and customers always come back, simply because there is plenty of time to test out new football boots or korfball shoes. That's not possible right now, but that's how it is. What there is time for: exercising at home or in the open air. Hang in there and keep in shape! And do you happen to need something for that? Consider also Sportcentrum Dordrecht.
Pieters | Everything for the home cook
The team at Pieters | Keuken, Koken en Wonen clearly sees from the online orders that Dordrechters have discovered cooking during the lockdowns. The number of orders placed via the webshop has increased enormously. In addition, the helpful and experienced staff do everything in their power to help the (mostly familiar) customers, and nothing is too much trouble. Visiting a client with six frying pans to compare? At Pieters they do it. Advice on a smoker? By sending photos back and forth and via facetime you can work it out together.
Nevertheless, Pieters prefers to receive its customers, and hopefully soon again, in its beautiful spacious monumental building: the medieval Nieuwkerk. Last 14 January 2021, they were located here for exactly 25 years. Not a celebration, but at Pieters they remain positive and also have a tip. Now that we're home so much, wouldn't it be great to be able to make a barista-worthy cup of coffee ourselves? At Pieters, you have plenty of choice!
