Thuys restobar in Wassenaar declares bankruptcy

The restobar Thuys in Wassenaar has declared bankruptcy after operating for just over a year. The establishment, which opened in April 2025, faced financial instability due to rising costs and insufficient revenue.

The owner attributed the failure to a decline in visitors at the nearby Duinrell amusement park, claiming the restaurant relied heavily on the park's tourism. However, a spokesperson for Duinrell denied these claims, stating that visitor numbers have remained stable for years.

Following the bankruptcy filing, eight creditors have come forward with total claims amounting to 147,000 euros. The largest creditor is Rabobank, which is owed 119,256 euros, followed by the Tax and Customs Administration with a claim of 14,471 euros.
