Ahold Delhaize (Koninklijke)

Ahold Delhaize is the product of the July 2016 merger between Netherlands-based Ahold and Belgium's Delhaize, forming the fourth-largest grocer in the US and a top player in many parts of Europe. The US is the largest market, accounting for over 60% of group sales, with Ahold Delhaize the leading grocer on the Eastern Seaboard. The US store network stretches from Maine to Georgia and includes such banners as Stop & Shop, The Giant Company, Giant Food, Food Lion, and Hannaford. The Netherlands, Belgium, and Central and SouthEastern Europe, including the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania, and Serbia, account for slightly less than 40% of sales. Ahold Delhaize holds the number-one and number-two positions in almost all of these countries.
