The "IK Ihr Kaufmann" stores are small (between 100 and 250 square metres). They are frequently operated by local retailers and are found largely in rural areas. In addition to convenience products for one- to two-person households, "IK Ihr Kaufmann" sells all goods for daily use from fruit and vegetables through a high-quality sausage and cheese counter, to a well-stocked selection of dry goods.

"IK Ihr Kaufmann" is a retail concept of wholesaler Bartels-Langness and the Okle company.
