While many are gloomy about one retail chain after another going under, Oger is having its best year ever with a profit of €1.4 million. How did the Oger family become a star in business? Oger's success started in the late eighties of the last century when Oger Lusink opened his first men's clothing store in the PC Hooftstraat. At that time, the PC Hooft was a neighborhood of civil servants and the well-to-do middle class. It did not seem destined for the Guccis, Chanels and Pradas of this world. Yet Oger Lusink saw salvation in the street. More than 25 years later, that still appears to be a masterstroke. Moreover: 'I don't want to brag, but we created the middle class here', says the older Lusink. The Lusinks: Two sons, one business? Lusink is 69 years old. The time when he has to make way for the next generation is approaching. Who will take over the scepter from Oger Lusink? Father Lusink has two ambitious sons who are passionately involved in the Oger stores. But in the end he has to choose: who will be my successor? Sander, the eldest son at 39, is a real networker with a nose for marketing. Martijn (37) is the fashion man. Always busy with colour, shape and design. Success in retail? It is possible! While retail is being hit hard by major bankruptcies such as V&D, Oger is having its best year ever. We follow the Oger family on their way to reopening one of their most important branches, in The Hague. How do the fashion men manage to continue growing, especially at a time when many fashion stores are disappearing from the streets? Never slackening off In the documentary we see, among other things, how the dozens of employees are put on edge on the busiest day of the week, Saturday. About 35% of turnover is achieved on Saturday. A few extra packs of sales can easily make the difference between a mediocre or a successful financial year. In other words: between being a standout in business or not? In the documentary series Uitblinkers in Zaken, entrepreneurs with an inspiring story are given the opportunity to speak.
