Fish seller Bob Plat may have to move his fish cart from its familiar location in Zaandam after 20 years. The departure of the Praxis and Leen Bakker stores from the industrial park has made the cart’s future uncertain, while the contract with Praxis remains in force until January or February. A new tenant will ultimately decide whether the cart can stay.

Plat said he would prefer to remain at the location, where he has worked since he was 15. Regular customers said they would consider his departure a loss and hoped he would not move far away.
