50 Jaar Bennies Fifties: Bekende Artiesten, Jukeboxen & Een Bijzondere Onderscheiding!

Welcome to the festive celebration of Bennies Fifties' fiftieth anniversary in Scheveningen. In this special video, we take you behind the scenes of our unique anniversary party, where we reflect on half a century of passion for vintage and rock ’n’ roll together with invited guests, friends, and artists. The absolute highlight of the afternoon is the visit of the Mayor of The Hague. During a beautiful speech, he presents the prestigious Hague award 'Entrepreneurs Are Worth Gold' to the proud founders Benny and Astrid Fransen. The Mayor praises their tireless dedication, their life's work, and the way they keep the rich tradition of The Hague beat alive. He recounts legendary anecdotes about Benny, including his unique performance on the television show 'Wedden Dat', where he flawlessly recognized jukeboxes while blindfolded. Additionally, Astrid is rightly put in the spotlight for her indispensable, connecting force within the business and her impressive background in the television world. The event was made extra festive thanks to the presence and fantastic live performances of various musician friends. Among those present were icons such as Rob Bolland, Rudy Bennett, and Alides Hidding of the Time Bandits, who had traveled all the way from Belgium especially for this anniversary to put on an unforgettable show. There was also a special word of thanks for Martin Rijsma, who has selflessly dedicated himself for years to both established names and emerging talent in pop music. For fifty years, Bennies Fifties has been a household name both at home and abroad, forming an absolute mecca for lovers of the fifties and sixties. What once started as a dream has since grown into an unparalleled destination full of Americana, colorful neon lighting, and authentic vinyl. Our store breathes nostalgia and offers everything you need for the perfect setup of a man cave or retro interior.
