Kees Smit Tuinmeubelen

Kees Smit Tuinmeubelen is a Dutch retail chain specialising in garden furniture and outdoor living products. The business began in 1942 when Henk Smit sr. and his wife Corrie started selling household goods, with Smit travelling by horse and cart to farms while his wife sold from home. As car ownership grew and door-to-door peddling became obsolete, the shop specialised in garden furniture. In 1972 their son Kees Smit took over the business, and in 1981 he built a new premises on an industrial estate in Almelo. The Ambachtstraat location in Almelo opened in 1990. In 2011 Henk Smit jr. took over the company. A second store was opened in 2013 on the embankment of the A1 motorway near Amersfoort to improve accessibility. In 2019 Henk Smit shared ownership with Mitchel Oude Nijhuis (Director of E-Commerce and Marketing) and Ohannes Malihas (Director of Retail), while the family retained the majority interest. In 2021 a new 85,000 m² distribution centre opened in Almelo, and the company counted more than four hundred employees that year. In 2024 the family business came into the hands of the Roerink family through shares of Craft Capital. Today Kees Smit Tuinmeubelen operates Experience Stores in Almelo, Amersfoort, Venlo and Eindhoven, and reaches customers in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany through its own web shop. The assortment covers garden sets, lounge sets, garden chairs, garden tables, sun loungers, garden benches, parasols, pergolas, garden cushions, garden lighting, barbecues and outdoor cooking, fire and patio heating, cleaning and storage, and accessories and decoration.
