In 1981, barely a year after its creation, the first showroom opened in Roeselare, displaying just four kitchens. This marked the beginning of success for the small family business, which saw its production space expand to 10,000 m\u00b2 in just a few years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition, Dovy Keukens took a competitive lead in 1989 by incorporating a natural stone department, enabling customers to choose their stone worktops directly at the factory. Expansion continued with the opening of numerous other showrooms throughout Flanders, including cities such as <a href=\"https:\/\/lama-fortune.com\/tag\/flandre\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"27\">Brugge, Gent, and Mechelen.<\/a> Today, the factory covers an area of 37,000 m\u00b2, and the network of showrooms has grown to an impressive 20, with the opening of the world's largest showroom. <strong>in Tienen in 2015.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;69f7dbf011e9f&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"69f7dbf011e9f\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/lama-fortune.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/3d-rendering-white-minimal-kitchen-with-wood-decoration-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Elegant kitchen created by the Muylle family\" class=\"wp-image-2530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.lama-fortune.com\/2024\/04\/3d-rendering-white-minimal-kitchen-with-wood-decoration-scaled.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/media.lama-fortune.com\/2024\/04\/3d-rendering-white-minimal-kitchen-with-wood-decoration-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.lama-fortune.com\/2024\/04\/3d-rendering-white-minimal-kitchen-with-wood-decoration-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.lama-fortune.com\/2024\/04\/3d-rendering-white-minimal-kitchen-with-wood-decoration-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\taria-label=\"Enlarge\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.imageButtonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.imageButtonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Donald Muylle's reputation is due not only to his expertise, but also to a distinctive advertising campaign in which he presented himself in the West Flemish dialect, a strategy that made a lasting impression.
