Ahold Delhaize Announces that Delhaize Belgium Completes its Acquisition of Delfood

Zaandam, the Netherlands – Ahold Delhaize announces that its great local brand Delhaize in Belgium has completed the acquisition of Delfood NV.

This acquisition comprises 303 stores in Belgium consisting of all louis delhaize stores and those supplied through Delfood, as well as logistics services and the Belgian headquarters.

The transaction consolidates Delhaize’s position in the Belgian retail market—particularly in the convenience segment— and expands its network to a total of 1,109 stores across Belgium and Luxembourg. The transaction received approval from the Belgian Competition Authority (BCA), subject to conditions, including that six Delfood proximity stores and one Delhaize Shop & Go are to be divested.

“This acquisition represents an important step in deepening our presence in the Belgian convenience market. By bringing Delfood and the louis delhaize stores into the Ahold Delhaize family, we are expanding a network that is deeply rooted in local communities and backed by 150 years of heritage. I am excited about the opportunity to offer customers even more accessible, fresh and reliable shopping experiences,” said Claude Sarrailh, CEO Ahold Delhaize Europe & Indonesia.
