La Place (restaurant chain)

La Place is a Dutch restaurant chain, owned by Jumbo (taken over from the bankrupt department store giant V&D).

[5] On 31 December 2015 V&D and its daughter La Place went bankrupt but continued to operate on Dutch government funds.

On 26 January 2016 Jumbo, a Dutch supermarket chain, announced that it had acquired La Place out of bankruptcy for an undisclosed amount of money.

Nonetheless Jumbo CEO Frits Van Eerd said in 2021 that he saw "a bright future" for La Place, with plans to opens hundreds of La Place locations around the world, although focusing on the Netherlands "with at least a hundred" new outlets in that country.

A new concept, La Place Express, a smaller to-go concept for sandwiches and juices located in areas of high foot traffic, would play a crucial role in the expansion, which would be a mix of locations managed by La Place and others being franchises.
