About Lutje Lokaal
Lutje Lokaal was created in 2019 as a countermovement to Black Friday and is the Groningen variant of the American Small Business Saturday. The day when 'small' entrepreneurs (for non-Groningers: lutje means small) thank their customers for their support.
What started as one event per year has since grown into a platform of more than 100 entrepreneurs! Lutje Lokaal is committed year-round to the local entrepreneurs of the city of Groningen and to the visitors & locals who come to discover our beautiful city.

Groningen?
Within our foundation, THE most fun local businesses are connected, making Groningen a vibrant city. We would love to introduce you to the many faces of these unique businesses.
There is much to discover in this beautiful northern city. Climb the Martinitoren or go to Het Forum and feast your eyes!
The city with the charm of a village, with the bakery on the corner, and that new little shop just down the road
These are the ladies behind the scenes!
All with a great love for Groningen, a passion for entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial Groningen. Our drive is to connect the local entrepreneurs with each other, put them on the map and show everyone why Groningen is so unique.
And who exactly are they? Liesbeth has been running Hartendief Groningen with great love for 6 years. Liesbeth is responsible for everything related to the Lutje Lokale Gift Card. Nardia and Lieve are the faces behind Mary Jane Boetiek. Nardia is the contact person for all participants & the Lutje Lokale City Guide.
