  Sign of being "deliverer" to the royal family
by Pavlik_NL
 
 

In the Netherlands some shops have a large coat of arms hanging above their door or shopwindow. This sign says then "Hofleverancier", which means that this shop or business sells products or gives services to the Royal Dutch family. The signs are spread throughout the Netherlands, but especially seen in the residential areas where the queen now lives or where a former ruler was living. These areas are: The Hague and surroundings (incl. Delft), Soest and surroundings (Amersfoort, Utrecht, Hilversum) and Apeldoorn and surroundings (Arnhem, Deventer).

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
