OUR STORY · SINCE 1995
A familiar face
in the neighbourhood.
From choosing a film at Integra Video to stopping by for a chat. Integra has changed with the times. Our attention to our customers remains.

It started with a video rental shop
Integra began in 1995 as a video rental shop called Integra Video. Choosing and returning films was part of everyday life. Over time, the shop became a familiar place for people in the neighbourhood.
As streaming services such as Netflix grew, the way people watched films changed. Integra also needed a new direction. The shop adapted, with the same personal attention for everyone who came through the door.
2018: Integra Day & Night
In 2018, the permit for the night shop was granted. Integra Video became Integra Day & Night. At that time, the shop was open from ten in the morning until four at night.
Long opening hours have been one of Integra’s strengths for years. Customers appreciate knowing when they can stop by. We also made it through the coronavirus years, adapting once again to changing circumstances.

2026: a new chapter
Changes in the rules on tobacco sales led to the business being split into two shops. In 2026, we chose to continue entirely as a tobacco specialist: Integra Tabaksspeciaalzaak.
The name and the shop’s activities have changed over the years. Our connection with the neighbourhood has remained.
Knowing our customers. Making time for a chat.
For us, Integra’s strength lies in the small, everyday things. Being consistently open. Recognising a familiar face. A smile when you walk in and time for a chat.
We want to be a shop the neighbourhood can rely on. Personal contact has mattered here for years, and we will carry that into the future.
First to open, last to close.
