"Short history of Bijenkorf
The history of De Bijenkorf dates back till 1870, when Philip Goudsmit opened its first shop with buttons and sewing supplies at the busy Nieuwendjik street. During the renovation of the shop in 1912, it had to be temporary moved to the Dam square. The sales quadrupled and ever since the Bijenkorf, now in its monumental building dating from 1957 (designed by Marcel Breuer), has been located at the Dam square."
