Want to join our butcher family?

Craftsmanship, terroir and passion. That is what Dierendonck stands for, and our customers experience it every single day. Our Dierendonck Ateliers continually prove that true expertise builds trust and that quality always prevails.

Today, we are taking this story to the next level: together with strong franchise partners, we are building a network where quality and service come first. Not only in the product, but also in the customer experience, in ensuring a healthy work-life balance, and in delivering solid financial returns. Whether you already run a butcher shop or dream of starting your own, we guide and support you every step of the way. You bring passion and entrepreneurship, we bring knowledge, strength, and the support of a powerful brand. The result? A unique store that breathes craftsmanship — with you as its face.

Our vision & promise

  • Artisan perfection: from the meat to the shop presentation, everything taken care of down to the smallest detail.
  • Honest craftsmanship and a passion for meat, terroir and local flavours.
  • Customer & store experience at the core: from service to atmosphere, from product quality to overall appearance.
  • A strong brand name & reputation built with care — a foundation for you to grow on.

What we offer you as a franchisee

  • Full support during the start-up and in daily operations: from training and product knowledge to staff management, shop design and hygiene.
  • Peace of mind in supply: we guarantee a counter that is always filled with fresh, high-quality products, without concerns about production or logistics.
  • Fewer staffing challenges thanks to our efficient preparation in our own ateliers. You need a smaller team and can focus on sales and customer service.
  • Marketing & merchandising through local and national campaigns, in-store promotions and strong online visibility.
  • Purchasing power & supplier network, giving you access to top quality, favourable conditions and a broad assortment including innovations and seasonal specialties.
  • Ongoing coaching & training through workshops, knowledge sharing and tailored advice to help your business grow.
  • Quality guarantee of a brand that stands for craftsmanship and trust — the foundation for loyal and returning customers.

Who are we looking for?

You (or your team) are the perfect franchise match if:

  • You have a passion for butchery, with expertise or at least experience in the sector.
  • You are committed, quality-driven and willing to invest in presentation and service.
  • You enjoy running a business in a prime, visible location.
  • You value customer loyalty and want to be rooted in your local community.
  • You have sufficient financial resources or credit to open a Dierendonck Atelier — but above all, passion and dedication make the difference.
