In the Beverse shopping center in the bakeries nowadays thin dotted. Several cases locks the past few years, the doors. Mouna Ben Fquih (35) saw the gap in the market and decided to take the plunge. “I worked a year and a half at the bakery). This was the first Moroccan bakery in the neighborhood. The business was running well and I think this is also in Beveren can catch on. A building in the Vrasenestraat was a little too expensive as a starter, but in the Gallery The Beaver, I found a suitable shop. I am a chef by training and is able to bread baking but here I have unfortunately not the place for it. In addition, I am self in the store. Therefore, I work with a Moroccan bakery.”

Mouna aims also to the many students in the neighborhood. “That's why I also made sandwiches for sale. I have a few tables so that customers on-the-spot to eat. And, of course, one can also, however, Moroccan mint tea.”

To the widest possible clientele to speak has Mouna both the Flemish classic pastries and breads as an authentic Moroccan delicacies in its range. “But that last segment, I want to in the future to expand”, she emphasizes. “I'm only just started but notice that the customers especially to the Moroccan bread questions. Also the sweet Moroccan pastries and cookies to go smoothly over the counter. It struck with a little bit, because I thought that especially the typical Flemish bread would be asked. The opposite is true.”
