History
Further information: Ahold and Delhaize Group

Ahold Delhaize was formed in July 2016 from the merger of Ahold and Delhaize Group.[6][7] Delhaize Group dates back to 1867, when the Delhaize brothers opened a wholesale grocery business in Charleroi, Belgium. Ahold traces its roots back to 1887, when Albert Heijn opened a first store in the Dutch town of Oostzaan.

In 2018 the company experienced significant growth in the United States (Food Lion), the Netherlands, and online.[8] Growth in Belgium has been minimal.[8]
