Pitch
Important
Despite several attempts at reorganization and fundraising, La Ressource was unable to reach a profitability threshold for its various stores and found itself in a critical financial situation. Since 2022, the economic context and unfavorable conditions for purchasing power, along with rising inflation, have significantly impacted consumer habits in the organic and local sectors. The growing difficulties led to supply cuts, which in turn caused a drop in sales. Despite efforts made, losses continued to accumulate. Without sufficient financial support, the cooperative filed for bankruptcy, unable to ensure the continuity of its activities.
Presentation
La Ressource is a chain of sustainable and collaborative drugstores where you can find everything you need to take care of yourself and your home while respecting the nature. Cleaning products and ingredients in bulk, cosmetics from Belgium, gift ideas, zero-waste accessories... Launched in 2020, the Brussels-based company currently has three shops (Etterbeek, Jette, Uccle), each equipped with a shared lab, and a webshop, and is continuing to grow: it plans to set up at least two new points of sale, one of which could be outside Brussels, in the next 12 months.
La Ressource has already raised funds via LITA and is looking again for investors to co-finance its expansion.
Do you want to contribute to facilitating zero waste, ethical and locally sourced products through an audacious chain of shops? Become a cooperator of La Ressource and join the adventure!
