Belgium: Colruyt and Albert Heijn cheapest chains in Belgium
A new study confirms Colruyt as the cheapest supermarket chain in Belgium. Albert Heijn is a close second, the others are miles behind. Colruyt and Albert Heijn are both ten per cent cheaper than number three, the Carrefour hypermarkets. The price gap between the first two and the others is so big that the rest seem to have given up the price war, a new Daltix report suggests. Several chains used the beginning of the Covid crisis in March 2020 to apply huge price hikes, which they did not turn back afterwards.
Grocery chain tabs Hawaiian Springs CEO as Philipps’ successor In December 2008, the roof of Rosauers Supermarkets’ Five Mile store gave way under the weight of heavy snow. In that moment, 120 mostly full-time store employees were displaced and stayed that way for four months. But instead of issuing temporary or permanent layoffs, Rosauers Supermarkets Inc. President and CEO Jeff Philipps and the rest of the company’s leadership team pledged to pay 90% of all employee salaries, in addition to full benefits, Philipps says. “Our culture is critical to our business and success,” he says. It was just one of many memories the 65-year-old Philipps cites as he prepares to retire on Aug. 13, following 21 years with the company and 49 years in the grocery industry.
