De Gruyter was a retail chain in the Netherlands, in the 19th century and 20th century (until 1976). At its peak, there were more than 550 stores and nearly 7,500 employees.

An important element in the sales policy was giving a 10% discount when handing in the receipts. De Gruyter's slogan was therefore: And better goods and ten percent, only De Gruyter.

As a customer binder, De Gruyter gave away a small gift for children every week from 1948: the legendary Sweet of the Week. It was introduced after the Second World War when sugar was sold off and there was too much sugar on offer. With a few guilders worth of groceries, unsolicited candy was given for the children.
