Etos, the second-largst drug store chain in the Netherlands, is benefiting from its ownership by supermarket giant Ahold-Delhaize, according to the Telegraaf.

In particular, Etos is taking advantage of the enormous buying power of its Dutch-Belgian parent company, Etos chief Jan Derek Groenendaal told the paper.

Etos products are now being sold in group supermarkets in Belgium, Romania, the Czech republic and Greece. The company is also weighing sales of its Etos brands in the US, Groenendaal said.
