Aalst Dean Janssens (25) James Drinks & Fingerfood from July, The Factory in the Sluierstraat in Aalst. So does the most famous nightclub of the city after 16 years of ownership. It had been clear that owners Karim Touh and Filip The Master wanted to focus on the collection of Michelin stars, their restaurant Cul’eau. The Factory will change this summer.

It was a public secret that Karim Touh and Filip The Master for a buyer were looking for. After 16 years, The Factory says the duo entrepreneurs nightlife goodbye and they want to focus on Cul’eau, the restaurant is on the Gentsesteenweg in no time, good points scored by Michelin and Gault&Millau.

“I know Karim and Filip from Cul’eau, where I have helped the start-up, a year and a half ago. Also I have had two months the manager of The Factory, so that they could concentrate on Cul’eau”, says Dean Janssens. He noticed then already that the club had great potential. “There was already interest in me, but then came the opportunity to tap the Large Market James Drinks & Finger food to open,” says Dean. The interest has never faded and also Karim and Filip were in favour of acquisition by Dean. “They had the not to the large clock that she is a transferee sought, they did not want that someone came to the club to the bones would help,” says Dean. “They will be me the first year coach, Karim and Filip know like no other the ‘do’s’and ‘don’ts’.”

Dean Janssens surprised Aalst already in the building, which used to be the pub The Garden Of Spagniën was located in the trendy James Drinks & Finger food to start. And whether that is a success. The matter is at times too small. “There are nights that the bottom and top spaces, and that also all the chairs on the terrace are filled so we people have to refuse. I see potential in the future to other cities to grow,” says Dean.
