Every business has a story, one of courage, dreams and a touch of South African determination. When people pack their bags and set out for new horizons, they carry more than belongings; they carry creativity, culture and heart. AfriForum Worldwide believes these stories deserve to be told. Through our Business in the Spotlight series, we celebrate South African businesses who bring a sense of “home” to every corner of the world, where language, heart and service still go hand in hand.

This week we travel to the Netherlands, where The Lekker Store offers the opportunity to discover the delicious flavours of South Africa.

A feast of South African products from freshly made foods, desserts, snacks and drinks that will bring a feeling of home away from home vibes, when you love your new life but still miss your South African roots.

The Lekker Store, which is situated within the Binnenstad of Utrecht, aims to offer a diverse range of products from baked South African goods to items you would find in many South African kitchens and supermarkets. We have expanded and introduced a selection of boerewors braai packs, biltong, droëwors and prepacked Lekker Store biltong which has become a customer favourite.

Our mission is to create a South African establishment with a great atmosphere and a high level of service, offering both authentic soul food from South Africa. We want our store to be “that place that everyone comes to”, creating a “home away from home” feeling.

Not only will you be able to enjoy our food in store, but we also offer catering for both private events and business functions, giving you the opportunity to share your love for our products with others.

The Lekker Store is a welcoming place for everyone, and we hope our customers feel like they are part of our family. A bit of love, kindness, good food and great company, paired with excellent service guarantees that you will have a memorable experience.

When South Africans carry their skills and passion across borders, they build more than businesses – they build communities. That’s exactly what AfriForum Worldwide’s World Guide makes possible: a global network of people who understand, support and inspire one another.
