Royal Ahold |
Holding company of Albert Heyn. Nice
history part. By the way, there is a specific site for the USA : Ahold
USA.
|
|
Albert Heyn |
Site of the famous Albert Heyn stores.
Part of the Royal Ahold holding. Beautiful site, full of content, but
... only in Dutch. If you are ever in the neighbourhood of Amsterdam,
visit their pilot shop on the Soestaplein in Haarlem.
|
|
De Bijenkorf |
Well known Dutch department stores. Also
own other retail businesses.
|
|
Brocacef |
Big (biggest ?) Dutch pharmacy
wholesaler. I do not mind the site being just in Dutch, but you might.
|
|
C1000 |
Smaller supermarket chain in the
Netherlands. A number of individual shops each have a (different)
homepage.
|
|
De Boer |
Member of Superunie, recently merged
with Unigro. Also home to De Jong supermarkets and Trekpleister
drugstores.
|
|
Edah |
Website of one of the bigger Dutch
retailers. Edah is part of the Vendex Group. Also check out KonMar, a
sister company.
|
|
KonMar |
The biggest (and almost the only)
hypermarket operation in the Netherlands. Part of the Vendex group. Edah
is part of the same group. Website only in Dutch.
|
|
Spar International |
Probably the world's most international
retailer. Originally Dutch and by law a Dutch holding company, that is
why the international website sits here. Curiously no links to the
websites some of the local businesses have : Spar Finland (Tukospar), or
Spar Denmark.
|
|
Vomar |
Smaller Dutch retail operation.
