Excellent! This is what they want, a new shop to add to the Directory. I keep hearing of shops closing so it's good to have some positive news.

Good question...
From all accounts, most of the restricted shops are in provinces that border Germany and Belgium.
I don't recall at the moment, but I don't think any shop in Noord Holland has restrictions of Dutch/Residents Only, but there could be... ???

Asked earlier by ftcarer about the license... from everything I've read on the subject, and conversations with people in the business, it's a transfer. The Dutch Government stopped issuing licenses years (decades?) ago.
I think this is how some of the chains formed... ex, Global Chillage (RIP) was renamed Rokerij and became the first of the Rokerij Group (RIP).
Road trip... :)
Happy Blue Tomato...
... :mrgreen:

I could cycle there, but i am not going to. Bike on train, cycle around hoorn easily, buy weed, cycle back to station, train and then cycle home.

Google is your enemy, make sure your train stops at the second station :wink: the first station is the main station, that's 3.7km, 11min on bike, 44min on foot, :wink:

Interesting. It is indeed on an industrial estate and it looks like there has been a coffeeshop there for a while, previously known as De Clown.

think your right mate , http://www.hoorn80.nl/wegrestaurant-de-clown/

http://www.clownhoorn80.nl - now a dead link



so if it was just a restaurant(maybe they had a buy n fly bit like boerejongens) , does that mean that a new CS licence was given out :? or have the current owners(already having licences) just been allowed to open a new place
