Eleven of the 56 hypermarkets operated by Ahold will have their selling space reduced from a total of 8,000 – 10,000 square metres to merely 5,000 square metres.


The changes will mainly impact the number of non-food products on sale. Ahold has indicated that the move is part of its aim to sharpen its focus on food.
