Drugstore in Stolwijk Mr. B. Natzijl once started a grocery store on the Dorpsplein in Stolwijk. Over time, the grocer expanded its range with drugstore items, which eventually resulted in a fully-fledged drugstore. In 1946, drugstore Natzijl was taken over by mr. Plump. After 40 years, the store was taken over by Max Flach in 1986 and the name was changed to Drogisterij Flach. In all those years, the store has undergone several renovations, resulting in a larger store and a more extensive range. On January 1, 2020, daughter and son-in-law Pauline and Jan Mijnders took over Drogisterij Flach. After a minor renovation, the store was officially opened on January 4, 2020.
