Badibanga will be responsible for leading all operational aspects of Giant Food, including regional operations, store support, strategic store planning and execution and asset protection, as well as people, team, and culture development. Badibanga brings a strong track record of transforming corporate objectives into bottom-line growth for supermarket, small and big box retailers, including Walmart, Family Dollar Stores, Winn Dixie Supermarkets, HEB Grocery Stores, and Price Chopper Supermarkets. "Irfan has been a successful, entrepreneurial leader, driving enormous growth at some of the largest retail organizations in this country," said Ira Kress, president of Giant.

He moved through the ranks at a variety of supermarket chains, building his expertise in store management, merchandising, operations, omni-channel delivery, asset protection, HR, and general management.

"Consumer preferences are shifting, and at Giant, product excellence, convenience, and value are key.

ANALYSIS of AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDERS to AID PUBLIC COMMENT in the Matter of Koninklijke Ahold N.V./Safeway Inc., File No
ANALYSIS OF AGREEMENT CONTAINING CONSENT ORDERS TO AID PUBLIC COMMENT In the Matter of Koninklijke Ahold N.V./Safeway Inc., File No. 121-0055, Docket No. I. Introduction and Background The Federal Trade Commission (“Commission”) has accepted for public comment, and subject to final approval, an Agreement Containing Consent Orders (“Consent Agreement”) from Koninklijke Ahold N.V. (“Ahold”), its subsidiary, Giant Food Stores, LLC (“Giant”), Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”), and its subsidiary (“Genuardi’s”) (collectively “Respondents”), that is designed to remedy the anticompetitive effects that otherwise would result from Ahold’s acquisition of certain Genuardi’s supermarkets owned by Safeway. The proposed Consent Agreement requires divestiture of the Genuardi’s supermarket in Newtown, Pennsylvania, and its related assets to a Commission-approved purchaser. The proposed Consent Agreement also requires Ahold and Safeway to divest all related assets and real property necessary to ensure the buyer of the divested supermarket will be able to quickly and fully replicate the competition that would have been eliminated by the acquisition. The proposed Consent Agreement has been placed on the public record for 30 days to solicit comments from interested persons. Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After 30 days, the Commission again will review the proposed Consent Agreement and comments received, and decide whether it should withdraw the Consent Agreement, modify it, or make it final without modification. On January 4, 2012, Ahold and Safeway executed an agreement whereby Ahold would acquire 16 of the Genuardi’s supermarkets from Safeway. The Commission’s Complaint alleges that the proposed acquisition, if consummated, would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C.

Center for Food and Agricultural Business CAB CS 15.1 September 1, 2015 Online Food Shopping: Peapod Finds a Path “Mike, the evidence is clear: Nearly every single technical innovation—from PCs to digital music and mobile phones—has struggled at first with low sales for a long period of time before reaching an inflection point, then rising exponentially. E-commerce is following that principle. We are on the cusp of rapid acceleration.” Andrew Parkinson, founder and president of Peapod, the online grocery company, did not have to convince Mike Brennan, Peapod’s Chief Operating Officer, that Peapod was poised for growth. Grocery was the biggest category in retailing but had proved the most resistant to the advance of online shopping. Nevertheless, Parkinson and Brennan had worked side by side for 18 years to keep Peapod, the nation’s oldest online grocer, in the fore of technological innovation and consumer relevance. They had watched with a certain fascination as many hopeful online food startups had been launched to great fanfare, only soon to fail. If not always profitable in its early years, Peapod had stood the test of time. But despite the hefty investments made and industry-leading status, a new brand of competition was entering the online marketplace and the rules of the game were shifting rapidly. Peapod’s parent company, Royal Dutch Ahold, was one of the world’s largest supermarket companies with 2014 sales of $43.5 billion and more than 3,500 stores.1 Yet most of these stores were conventionally positioned and, in both its European home market and in the US, its historic market shares were being eroded by new competition.

Supermarkets, Eager to Grow, Set Sights on Northern Virginia Page 1 of 4
washingtonpost.com: Supermarkets, Eager to Grow, Set Sights on Northern Virginia Page 1 of 4 washingtonpost.com CORRECTION TO THIS ARTICLE A Jan. 3 Washington Business article incorrectly said that Wegmans Food Markets Inc. will open its second Washington area store in Fairfax City. The store will be in Fairfax County. Supermarkets, Eager to Grow, Set Sights on Northern Virginia By Michael Barbaro Washington Post Staff Writer Monday, January 3, 2005; Page E01 Get ready for a food fight in Northern Virginia. Over the next year, Harris Teeter will open three supermarkets -- all of them in Loudoun County. Safeway will open stores in Fairfax City, Herndon and Mount Vernon, but just one in Maryland. And Wegmans, which built its first Washington area store in Sterling, will open another one in Fairfax City. This year, the region's supermarket chains will focus their already fierce battle for customers on the Virginia suburbs, lured by its rapid population growth, high incomes and -- compared with other parts of the region -- available land. "It is no secret that grocers are targeting Northern Virginia over suburban Maryland," said Gregory H. Leisch, chief executive of Delta Associates, an Alexandria-based real estate research firm. "That is where the greatest growth is right now." The rest of the region won't be completely left out. There are to be a smattering of new stores this year in Maryland and the District -- including a long-promised Giant Food in the city's Columbia Heights neighborhood -- and the chains hint at more to come. Harris Teeter Inc., which operates six stores in the area, has signed leases for 10 new stores, eight of them in Northern Virginia, spokeswoman Jennifer Panetta said.

With the birth of eCommerce in late summer of 19941, traditional brick & mortar retailers have seen their businesses being pressured by threats they didn’t see coming, understand, underestimated or just plain ignored. Amazon has gone from $0 - $60B+ in fiscal 2012, 25%+ growth from 2011, in less than 20 years. And while eCommerce revenues were only ~5.4% of all retail revenues in 20122, they are growing exponentially so I don’t think anyone would be surprised if the percentage was 15%+ by 2020. Facing that type of pressure on their existing business, its no surprise they are looking for solutions beyond just growing their eCommerce presence. And the current answer appears to be Omni Channel Retailing3 as it represents the best opportunity for brick & mortar retailers to leverage their existing sales channels (e.g. stores,

Center for Food and Agricultural Business CAB CS 11.4
Center for Food and Agricultural Business CAB CS 11.4 Giant Pursues Ukrop’s Introduction Rick Herring grimaced at the irony. For all his years in the retailing business, Herring had longed to take charge of repositioning another company. But he now realized the wry truth to the old adage “be careful what you wish for.” Herring was the president of Giant Food Stores, a division of the multinational Dutch retailer Royal Ahold, and had been a key part of the team charged with making a recommendation to the parent company on the potential acquisition of Ukrop’s, a chain of high-end supermarkets in Richmond, Va. Ukrop’s was a family owned company that, for generations, had been regarded by consumers as an integral part of the Richmond community. It boasted one of the strongest levels of consumer brand image of any supermarket company in the United States and was particularly regarded for its high level of customer service and the quality of its fresh foods. But sales and profit performance had recently weakened, and industry speculation suggested that a sale was possible. After an unprecedented amount of due diligence and exhausting negotiations, Herring’s team turned in a positive recommendation to make an offer. On December 17, 2009, Herring was present to witness the signing over of Ukrop’s to Royal Ahold as the newest group of stores to join Giant Foods. However, he was barely able to savor the moment. A large question loomed in front of him: Could Ukrop’s, a high-touch, high-quality company, actually fit into Giant, whose business model was based on the supply chain efficiencies and low prices associated with a global chain store operation? He knew he faced the challenge of his career.
