This Week's Bankruptcies: Bakery Closes Shortly After Opening Due to 'Bad Location and High Rent'
Bakkerij Joey de Vries in The Hague declared bankruptcy shortly after opening in May 2025, citing a poor location on Arnold Spoelstraat and high rent and energy costs. The curator noted the business primarily resold bread from family bakeries rather than baking on-site, making a restart unlikely due to the site's drawbacks. Additionally, EasyFiets, a bicycle rental company in Leiden, went bankrupt, though operations continue temporarily while curators explore takeover options. Construction firm RNB Renovatie + Nieuwbouw from Nieuwkoop also ceased operations, leaving five employees without work.
