Delhaize

Head office: Belgium

This Belgian food retailer's roar can be heard from Bali to Brussels to Baltimore. Delhaize "Le Lion" operates about 2,700 stores under some 20 banners in the US and seven countries in Europe and Asia. At home, Delhaize Belgium runs more than 840 stores under banners such as AD Delhaize, Delhaize, Di (health and beauty products), Tom & Co (pet products), and Proxy (convenience stores). In Belgium, Delhaize Group’s store network consists of several brand names, depending on the specialty, store size and whether the store is directly operated, franchised or affiliated. Delhaize "Le Lion" Supermarket is the leading banner of Delhaize Group in Belgium. The other supermarket banner, AD Delhaize, is the most important growth vehicle for Delhaize Group in Belgium since a few years.

The company operates in Unites States, Belgium, Greece, Romani and Indonesia. More than 70% of the group's sales come from wholly-owned Delhaize America, which operates about 1,550 US supermarkets (mostly Food Lion; others include Hannaford and Sweetbay). Delhaize "Le Lion" has been investing in Eastern Europe (Romania) and in Asia (Indonesia). In 2007 it sold its business in the Czech Republic.

The net sales of Delhaize Group in 2006 amounted for EUR 19.2 billion. The company employs over 140,000 people.
