The Dutch supermarket chain store Ahold Delhaize (AMS:AD) could make buys to enter the markets of Germany, France and Italy, the Dutch daily newspaper Het Financieele Dagblad reported without citing sources.
With 6,700 stores in 10 countries, Ahold Delhaize is already one of the largest supermarket chain stores in the world. The company wishes to expand further. This growth could happen in Eastern Europe or in Germany, France and Italy, where Ahold Delhaize isn’t active yet, the report said. It is most likely that the company will enter these markets through takeovers, the report said.
Frans Muller, the new CEO of Ahold Delhaize, recently also said that he wishes to invest and expand in the US, specifically in e-commerce.
