Goudmunter is moving its headquarters to the redesigned Grote Markt in Sint-Niklaas and opening its fifth branch there. According to the company, it has deliberately chosen a visible and accessible location that is undergoing a major renovation. The redevelopment of the Grote Markt will bring in more foot traffic and strengthen the office’s position in the city center.

The new office is located just thirty minutes from the major cities in Flanders. According to Goudmunter, more and more Belgians are having their gold appraised with no obligation, especially now that the price of gold is at a historic high. As a result, old jewelry, gold coins, and heirlooms often turn out to be worth considerably more than people realize. In the run-up to the opening, Goudmunter distributed flyers in Sint-Niklaas, Temse, Hamme, and Stekene. On Saturday, May 30, residents can visit the office for a free gold appraisal.

Quote: “With the opening of our new branch, we aim to meet the growing demand for accurate appraisals, transparency, and professional guidance in an industry where trust is essential.” — Dirk De Munter, founder of Goudmunter
