This branch of a wholesale company of coffee, tea and packaged foodstuffs was located at Prinsengracht 265, Amsterdam, next to Otto Frank's business premises (as of 1 December 1940).
As well as Opekta and Gies & Co. (and other companies), Keg regularly suffered from burglaries. The staff was therefore assigned night-time guard duty.[1] Before the period in hiding, there were several known burglaries in the building. One of these was committed via the then vacant neighboring building 263.[2] Reports were made by branch manager Jacob Boon and warehouse manager Hendrik Mussche.
Keg also had to contend with crime after the liberation: 'On behalf of N.V. Keg's Groothandel, P 265 in A-dam, a report is made of the theft of 7½ KG raisins, from a shipment of 2900 KG, sent from R-dam to the addressee by expedition. Bijloo.'[3]
Because the building on Prinsengracht had a basement and no ground floor, Keg had a garage at Egelantiersstraat 8.[4]
On 5 February 1940, there was a collision on Columbusplein in which a Keg van, driven by H.J. Mooseker, was involved.[5]
