PROFILE |
 |
This Belgian food retailer's roar can be heard from Bangkok to Brussels to Baltimore. Delhaize "Le Lion" operates some 2,400 retail stores under 20-plus names in 10 countries in Europe, Asia, and the US. On its own turf, the company runs more than 600 stores under banners such as AD Delhaize, Delhaize, Di (health and beauty products), Tom & Co. (products for pets), and Proxy (convenience stores). But more than 75% of the group's sales come from wholly owned Delhaize America, which operates about 1,450 US supermarkets (mostly Food Lion; others include Hannaford and Kash N' Karry). Delhaize "Le Lion" has been investing in Eastern Europe (Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia) and in Asia (Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore).
