Douwe Egberts
In 1753 Egbert Douwes and his wife Akke Thijsses open their grocery store in colonial goods "De Witte Os". At the Midstraat in Joure, they thus lay the foundation for the Douwe Egberts and Pickwick brands. Coffee, tea and tobacco are the main products.

Douwe Egberts has been around for more than 260 years. The brand originated in 1753 in a small grocery shop in Joure. Douwe Egberts has brought several successful, innovative ideas to the market. For example, in 1924 the gift system was introduced by means of the savings points on the packaging that people could collect. This system, which still exists, is now one of the oldest savings systems in the Netherlands. Over the years, Douwe Egberts has developed various innovative coffee makers. It is impossible to imagine Dutch society without the Douwe Egberts brand.
