How to use Cook’n Bloom Pelican
Here we have been able to grow gradually
Flexibility, service and location were key when Åsa and Anne-Lie at Cook'n Bloom needed a storage facility for their start-up business. For them, Pelican Self Storage on Kungsholmen was the best option.
Åsa and Anne-Lie founded Cook'n Bloom in 2013. They import and market a range of products for use in indoor and outdoor kitchens. The range includes professional kitchen tools, high-quality serving trays, kitchen knives and amazing BBQ grills designed to take cooking to the next level - for anyone who loves to cook.
"We simply seek to make food lovers flourish in the kitchen," says Åsa.
Åsa and Anne-Lie dreamed of working with food for years.
Their passion for food was a fact long before they took the bull by the horns and decided to sell professional kitchen design.
"We seized the opportunity and exhibited at Formex (Nordic interior design fair).
A success that was crucial for us to take our next step, " Anne-Lie remembers.
They did well.
While working at Hägersten, they realized they would need storage space.
"I checked out all the players and talked to several storage centers.
Pelican Self Storage in Kungsholmen was the ideal place for us. "
"Initially, we rented 9 m2.
We now have 55 m2 of storage space divided into five units.
Two of the units serve as picking storage.
We also have two units that contain all our garden grills and one with all our trade fair displays.
In the early years we grew and instead of committing to a large warehouse, we gradually added extra storage space.
This is a huge advantage for our business.
We are flexible and can expand or shrink storage capacity to meet our actual requirements.
The services Pelican offers are also an important parameter.
The reception is staffed from 10 to 18. For us, a reception service is important.
We need someone to receive incoming goods and process deliveries.
Freight companies are never able to give exact pick-up times.
We take care of packing and labeling, while Pelican's front desk staff receives incoming goods and dispatches deliveries."
"Of course, there are warehouse management companies out there, but because we take care of order management ourselves, Pelican is an excellent solution for us."
Åsa and Anne-Lie also find the opportunity to make use of the lounge area and conference room at Pelican Self Storage hugely beneficial.
"We have held many meetings with customers here.
We even invited journalists here to introduce them to our products. "
