About BOS
Flyn Wynen and Rudi Wynen, founders of BOS Outlet, developed the idea in early 2024 from an urgent need: the vacancy in shopping streets such as Bredabaan in Merksem. What started as a local solution quickly grew into a widely supported concept with international interest.
How do we meaningfully fill vacancies? How do we create a win-win for brands, customers, and neighbourhoods? BOS Outlet became the answer to those questions. By bringing together a strong network of experts, we developed a plug & play model: a reusable and scalable concept that allows us to quickly transform shopping streets into vibrant outlet zones.
The BOS concept: a core of 400 metres consisting of retail units, filled with brand outlet stores, artisan shops, and concept stores. Everything is managed in-house, including logistical facilities, sanitary infrastructure, a children's entertainment zone, and a distribution centre. This is how we build experience and efficiency – for visitors and entrepreneurs.
BOS Outlet is more than retail: it is a community, a new purpose for old streets, and a fresh opportunity for brands. And this is just the beginning.

From these passions for people and nature, he places great importance on sustainable entrepreneurship where people from diverse cultures with different backgrounds can contribute to a world where health, ecology, and inclusion are central.
Innovative entrepreneurship by looking at the challenges of today's society from a different perspective in a simple way. And then doing something with it and acting on it. Dreaming, thinking, and doing.
Flyn Wynen
Operational Manager
As an entrepreneur, I am passionate about connecting people, building strong networks, and seeking creative solutions that work for everyone. In my role as the operator of a coworking space and as a co-founder and secretary of the Merchants' and Entrepreneurs' Association of Merksem, I derive great satisfaction from collaboration and local empowerment.
At the same time, I saw up close the growing vacancy in shopping streets – a challenge that called for a new kind of approach. This led to the idea for BOS Outlet: an innovative concept that brings together connection, repurposing, and economic revival.
