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.
