Road
Our beautiful thrift store in Alkmaar will be open in April 2021. And this is not just a thrift store, but 'more than a thrift store'! This 3.0 version offers in addition to the RataPlan features that you are used to from us also many extras, such as a training center, a workshop studio and even a plant shelter. You can come and shop with us and you are also very welcome at the warehouse of the store to donate items. Finally, there can be free pick-up appointments to be made. NB! RataPlan only accepts items that are whole, clean and usable. Do you have waste? Then take this to the local waste and recycling station.
Accessibility & parking

Customers who come to shop can use the car park opposite the store. So you can take your time without having to stop and think about a parking meter that expires. Please note, different rules apply to parking in the street (along the road). View here the information about parking in the Zijperstraat.

Partnerships
Collaboration ANWB children's bicycle plan
In 2019 Share2Day Foundation together with RataPlan started delivering bicycles to children, whose parents have a limited purse. Since 2020, the ANWB and the municipality of Alkmaar have joined in to strengthen the project and make it more sustainable. With the children's bicycle plan she wants to ensure that every child can cycle safely. In order to learn to cycle properly, it is important that children make meters on the bicycle and thus learn to participate in traffic as well as possible. But unfortunately there are still many children in the Netherlands who do not have a bicycle and we, together with Share2Day, the Municipality of Alkmaar and the ANWB, of course want to change that! That is why we would like to ask you to donate your old, unused bicycle at our location in Alkmaar at Zijperstraat 46-50. This is possible during our regular opening hours. In this way, a bicycle or the various parts of a bicycle gets a second life and with this great collaboration we can ensure that all children in the Netherlands can cycle safely.
