About Les magasins D'Ici
d’ici is a Belgian local-food retailer with stores in Naninne, Wépion, and Champion in the Namur area. Since opening its first shop in Naninne in May 2013, it has positioned itself as a place to do everyday shopping around tasty, authentic, seasonal products sourced from local producers and artisans.
The company presents itself as more than a store: it aims to be a welcoming place for exchange, encounters, and shared experiences. Its offer is built around short supply chains, fair pricing, clear information, and a close relationship with both producers and customers, with a strong emphasis on local, durable, and community-minded food choices.
