LOPPI UG (haftungsbeschränkt)LOPPI is bringing a concept proven successful in Scandinavia to the German market: a permanently open indoor children's flea market on a shelf rental basis. Parents rent their own space, stock it themselves, and sell children's clothing and toys—without mandatory attendance, without the stress of a typical flea market, and without the hassle of online communication and shipping. This creates a vibrant, community-driven marketplace that integrates sustainable consumption patterns into everyday life and actively involves families. Following the opening of the first LOPPI store in Rheine in 2025, LOPPI opened a second location in Münster in 2026—without investors. Simultaneously, LOPPI is developing proprietary digital tools for personnel planning and operational management as the foundation for a scalable franchise model. The long-term goal: to establish LOPPI as the leading brand for sustainable children's fashion circular systems in German-speaking countries—with the aim of making the concept technically and structurally suitable for franchise.
