Albert Heijn pioneered the development of the modern supermarket in the Netherlands. Its innovations range from the creation of the country’s first self-service formats and the development of general merchandise as a grocery store category to the introduction of new and exciting products to store shelves that have since become mainstays of Dutch consumers.
Today the company continues to inspire consumers with unique products and services, including a range of private label brands designed to meet the needs of specific types of customers. Private label accounts for approximately half of Albert Heijn’s sales (read more about Albert Heijn’s private label brands).
Albert Heijn has more than 800 stores and employs over 75,000 people, making it one of the largest employers in the Netherlands. The company operates four main formats: the neighborhood grocery store, the larger Albert Heijn XL supermarket, “AH to Go” convenience stores, and the AH internet grocer (read more about Albert Heijn’s formats).
