Ahold buys US grocery chain

Friday 18 December 2009

Supermarket group Ahold is taking over 25 stores from privately-owned US supermarket chain Ukrop's for $140m.

Ahold already owns the Giant supermarket group with 150 stores in Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia and books over half group turnover in the US.

Perhaps Ahold will start importing back some of the quality and choice of US grocery stores. It blows my mind that the Dutch accept such poor quality and choice in their supermarkets in Holland. They are shocked to hear how much better Dutch owned supermarkets are abroad than at home.

This will be a steep learning curve for AHold.

This is great, it shows again Dutch entrepreneurship.

Mr Quest has may be never been in Holland, otherwise he new that he live's in a third world country.

Fatties always thinking about food and how much more they can get. Perhaps someone in the USA realizes that most Greedy gut Americans needs to go on a diet and need good and healthy quality foods to sell instead of quanity.
