The interior is peaceful with a white and concrete look and two large walls are decorated with art works of designer Marijntje Teeuwen. The ice cream parlor has an espresso bar and a large ice cream laboratory. Inspiration for the new style was gained from ice cream parlors in eight Italian cities.

Fries shop Bram Ladage has opened a new location in Rijswijk, the Netherlands. This was also the start of the new formula style of the famous Dutch fries shop chain. A style that matches the method and the story of Bram Ladage. Bram Ladage emphazises the origin, authenticity and the story of the potato from the ground to the fresh fries. However, the current stores didn’t radiate that feeling yet. No snack bar, cafeteria or fast food restaurant, but the new formula style radiates where Bram Ladage stands for: traditional, authentic and pure. A shop where they do something great with potato’s.
