The Dutch market leader continues to strengthen its position through network expansion and consistent execution, reinforcing its role as the primary grocery destination for many households.

What’s driving this momentum:

  • Strong value perception: Shoppers reward retailers they trust for everyday needs.

  • Consistency matters: Reliable execution across formats builds habitual loyalty.

  • Local relevance at scale: National leadership is reinforced through neighbourhood presence.
