“Can a Dutch BBQ specialty retailer build market leadership by blending physical showrooms, e-commerce, cooking education, and hospitality into a single omnichannel customer experience?”
BBQ Experience Center started as a specialist BBQ retail concept in the Netherlands, founded by two BBQ enthusiasts. Over roughly five years, it evolved into a full omnichannel operator spanning physical showrooms, an e-commerce webshop, hospitality (restaurant-style experiences), and cooking education. The company won the FD Gazelle award five times and received nominations for best new retailer in Belgium. Its embedded finance posture is that of a lean Dutch retailer: payments via Mollie, with no disclosed BaaS, lending, or payroll infrastructure beyond that.
BBQ Experience Center processes payments through Mollie.
BBQ Experience Center was founded by Boy Tak and Joey Buys and is headquartered in Roosendaal, Netherlands.
