Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn B.V. is a supermarket chain founded in 1887 in Oostzaan, Netherlands. It is named after Albert Heijn, Sr., the founder of the first store in Oostzaan.

Albert Heijn is the oldest part of Ahold, and still has the largest market share in the Netherlands. Fact|date=January 2008 The stores are full service supermarkets (as opposed to discounters) known for their focus on quality stores and products. This focus on quality is part of the reason that Albert Heijn is regarded as one of the more expensive supermarkets. However, after the recent price war - initiated by Albert Heijn itself and involving nearly all Dutch supermarket chains - the prices are now at a normal level. Fact|date=January 2008 At the moment, its market share is around 30 per cent. Prices can be further discounted by using a customer discount card, called "Bonus kaart" in Dutch.

Types of stores

*750 regular Albert Heijn stores, ranging in categories 1 (small) to 5 (very large); mostly open until 20:00 or 22:00.
