PROFILE |
 |
Hannaford Bros. may have started as a fruit and vegetable stand in 1883, but it has expanded from its Maine roots to become an upscale grocer with about 105 stores throughout Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont. Still, produce continues to be a major focus at the Hannaford supermarkets, as are expansive meat selections and natural food products. Two-thirds of the Hannaford stores are combination grocery and pharmacy stores, and all are part of the company's strong "Hannaford" private-label program, which accounts for 20% of sales. The company is owned by Delhaize America (parent of Food Lion), which in turn is owned by Belgium's Delhaize "Le Lion."
