Project Highlight:

DUTCH MILITARY DUTY-FREE STORE

A venture under the TENHAAF & Co. portfolio was entrusted with the complete redesign and refurbishment of a Dutch Military Duty-Free Store.

From concept to execution, the venture developed the store layout, interior design, and supply structure entirely from scratch, working closely with the Dutch military.

The result: a modern, efficient, and high-performing retail space that meets the operational standards and expectations of the Dutch Armed Forces.

Today, TENHAAF & Co. continues to supply and replenish the store with a carefully curated range of premium duty-free products, sourced through our direct purchasing agreements with the industry’s biggest vendors.
This project illustrates our ability to merge creative design, operational management, and supply excellence into a single, turnkey solution.
It demonstrates the strength of our partnerships and our capability to deliver complex retail environments from the ground up.

Our VISION

TENHAAF & Co strives to grow from a European duty-free specialist into a global connector between retail and supply networks, expanding our presence in airport concessions and strengthening support to military and diplomatic retail operations across Europe and emerging regions such as West Africa.

Our ambition is to enhance global access to trusted duty-free and institutional supply channels through expertise, innovation, and integrity. By working with established partners and infrastructures, we aim to build scalable, transparent, and efficient retail concepts that combine operational precision with modern digital solutions for traceability and direct supply.

Driven by collaboration and guided by the standards of European excellence, we are creating a flexible, data-driven model designed to serve people, partners, and markets securely, compliantly, and sustainably across continents.
