Restoring and adding value, that's what 'de ARM' is all about. For over 40 years, the various locations of thrift store 'de Arm' have been collecting used items. All items brought in are sorted, tested, cleaned and refurbished if necessary, after which they are presented with care in the shops.
Like the items, the people who do this often have a story - they have lived. And it is precisely for those people that 'de Arm' proves to not only restore the value of its items, but also of its employees. It puts an arm around those who cannot easily find a workplace elsewhere.
