Programme "Sustainable inner cities and town centres in North Rhine-Westphalia"

New snack bar thanks to funding programme

Following the expiry of the "City Centre Immediate Action Programme", the state of North Rhine-Westphalia has once again approved funding for the "Rental Disposition Fund" for 2024. The city of Beckum can thus support new rentals in Beckum's city centre. The first start-up, Ali Hajrulahi, has now been welcomed.

At Nordstraße 35, Hajrulahi was able to fulfil his dream of self-employment with the help of funding. He moved from Baden-Württemberg to Beckum three years ago for love. Even though the Swabian is not a trained chef, he has always loved cooking and has turned his passion into a profession with his burrito snack bar. At his "Foodstation" on Nordstraße, he mainly offers burritos in different variations, but would like to respond to customer requests and test other dishes. He currently offers poultry or beef sausage, for example.

The snack bar is open Monday to Saturday from 11:30 to 14:00 and from 17:30 to 21:00. To ensure that customers don't have to wait long, especially at lunchtime, it is possible to order in advance by telephone on 0176 72386571. The latest news about the "Foodstation" can be found on the Facebook page Foodstationbeckum.
