Ahold

Ahold Delhaize is joining a multi-industry initiative that is intended to create sustainable value from the recycling of flexible plastics.

Retailers that made the list include Walmart, Costco, Ahold Delhaize, Walgreens Boots Alliance and Sephora.

Ahold Delhaize shared that consumer trends around cooking and eating at home, shopping online, and healthy eating have remained and evolved, and convenience continued to grow in importance.

The retailer reported that, excluding its recent FreshDirect acquisition, online sales in the United States grew by 7.5%.

As senior vice president of private brands, Ian Prisuta will be responsible for delivering services that include new product development, packaging, design and quality among others.

The retailer recently opened a new store in North Carolina’s Mallard Creek neighborhood.

The two companies launched virtual convenience storefronts across Ahold Delhaize’s Hannaford, Giant, Stop & Shop, Food Lion and Martin’s banners.

Shoppers can now use their electronic benefit transfer cards when placing online orders for Giant Pickup and Giant Delivery orders in three states and Washington, D.C.

For the fiscal period ended Dec. 31, Ahold Delhaize reported that its same-store sales grew 11.2%, due largely to COVID-19 related sales strength.

All Set in a Box, now at Giant and Martin's stores, offers a main course and sides for a family of four, with most varieties priced at less than $5 per serving.

Ahold Delhaize’s chief human resources officer, Abbe Luersman, will leave the company, effective April 30.

Giant Food pharmacies near the nation’s capital have begun offering healthcare workers who work in senior group-home settings an initial supply of Moderna’s COVID-19 vaccine at its stores.
