ACM/21/050672 / Documentnr. ACM/UIT/558116 Samenvatting en leeswijzer Supermarktketen Albert Heijn wil 39 supermarkten overnemen van Deen. 41 andere supermarkten van Deen worden overgenomen door Vomar Voordeelmarkt en DekaMarkt; de beoordeling van de overnames van deze 41 Deen-supermarkten valt buiten de reikwijdte van dit besluit. Albert Heijn en Deen zijn beide actief op het gebied van de verkoop van dagelijkse consumptiegoederen via supermarkten en de inkoop van dagelijkse consumptiegoederen voor afzet via de detailhandel. De Autoriteit Consument en Markt (ACM) concludeert in dit besluit dat de overname van de supermarkten van Deen door Albert Heijn niet leidt tot een significante belemmering van de mededinging op de markt(en) voor de inkoop van dagelijkse consumptiegoederen voor afzet via de detailhandel. De toevoeging van de activiteiten van Deen aan het aandeel van Albert Heijn is op deze markt(en) beperkt en er zijn voldoende andere spelers actief. De ACM heeft vastgesteld dat na de overname van de supermarkten van Deen door Albert Heijn op een mogelijke landelijke markt voor de verkoop van dagelijkse consumptiegoederen via supermarkten voldoende concurrentie overblijft. Op een mogelijke landelijke markt zijn er meerdere concurrerende supermarktketens actief waaronder Jumbo, Lidl, Aldi, Plus en Coop. De toevoeging van de Deen- supermarkten aan het aandeel van Albert Heijn op deze mogelijke landelijke markt is beperkt. Daarnaast heeft de ACM onderzocht of er na de concentratie voldoende concurrentie overblijft op het gebied van de verkoop van dagelijkse consumptiegoederen via supermarkten op mogelijke lokale markten. Mogelijke lokale markten, oftewel verzorgingsgebieden, zijn afgebakend als het gebied dat binnen maximaal 10 minuten autoreistijd is te bereiken vanaf de over te nemen Deen-supermarkten. Het verzorgingsgebied is vervolgens in beginsel ingeperkt tot de betreffende woonplaats. Hiervan kan worden afgeweken wanneer er overtuigende argumenten zijn om ook supermarkten in (nabijgelegen) andere woonplaatsen binnen maximaal 10 minuten autoreistijd mee te nemen. Voor één mogelijke lokale markt, het verzorgingsgebied van de Deen-supermarkt in Tuitjenhorn, acht de ACM het aannemelijk dat de nabijgelegen woonplaats Warmenhuizen onderdeel uitmaakt van het relevante verzorgingsgebied. In de verzorgingsgebieden waar het gezamenlijke marktaandeel van Albert Heijn en de door Albert Heijn over te nemen Deen-supermarkten niet of nauwelijks boven de 50% uitkomt, vindt de ACM het aannemelijk dat er voldoende alternatieve supermarkten voor consumenten overblijven en de supermarkten van Albert Heijn en de Deen-supermarkten dus voldoende gedisciplineerd worden door concurrenten. Op de mogelijke lokale markten waar het marktaandeel (ruim) boven de 50% uitkomt, heeft de ACM onderzocht in hoeverre er factoren zijn die dit hoge marktaandeel kunnen relativeren. Binnen één verzorgingsgebied komt het marktaandeel van Albert Heijn en de door Albert Heijn over te nemen Deen-supermarkt boven de 50% uit. Het marktaandeel van Albert Heijn en de door Albert Heijn over te nemen Deen-supermarkt in het verzorgingsgebied van de Deen-supermarkt in Tuitjenhorn stijgt als gevolg van de concentratie van ongeveer 50% naar 100%. Uit onderzoek door de ACM is niet gebleken dat er factoren zijn die het hoge marktaandeel relativeren. Op deze mogelijke lokale markt is vastgesteld dat een significante belemmering voor de mededinging zou kunnen ontstaan wat nader onderzocht zou moeten worden in een vergunningsfase. 4/17 Autoriteit Consument & Markt Openbaar Zaaknr. ACM/21/050672 / Documentnr. ACM/UIT/558116 Om tegemoet te komen aan de geïdentificeerde mogelijke mededingingsproblemen hebben partijen aangeboden om de Deen-supermarkt in Tuitjenhorn over te dragen aan Vomar Voordeelmarkt. In ruil hiervoor verkrijgt Albert Heijn een Vomar-supermarkt in ontwikkeling in Amsterdam […]. Dit aanbod is neergelegd in een wijziging van de melding. In de situatie na de verkoop van deze supermarkt vindt de ACM het aannemelijk dat er voldoende alternatieven overblijven voor consumenten en de supermarkten van Albert Heijn en Deen dus voldoende gedisciplineerd worden door de supermarkten van concurrenten. Met inachtneming van de genoemde wijziging van de melding oordeelt de ACM dat de voorgenomen concentratie de concurrentie niet significant beperkt. Onder de voorwaarde dat Albert Heijn de Deen- supermarkt in Tuitjenhorn overdraagt aan Vomar Voordeelmarkt mag Albert Heijn de andere 38 Deen- supermarkten als bedoeld in dit besluit overnemen. De ACM heeft dit besluit als volgt opgebouwd. Na enkele inleidende hoofdstukken over de melding bij de ACM (hoofdstuk 1), informatie over Albert Heijn en Deen (hoofdstuk 2), de voorgenomen transactie (hoofdstuk 3) en de toepasselijkheid van het concentratietoezicht (hoofdstuk 4) bespreekt de ACM in hoofdstuk 5 de relevante markten (5.1 en 5.2) en daarna de beoordeling van de gevolgen van de voorgenomen concentratie (5.3). In hoofdstuk 6 komt de wijziging van de melding door partijen aan de orde. De ACM sluit in hoofdstuk 7 af met de conclusie. 1 Melding 1. Op 26 april 2021 heeft de Autoriteit Consument en Markt (ACM) een melding ontvangen van een voorgenomen concentratie.1 Ahold Delhaize Nederland B.V. (hierna: AHD), onderdeel van de AHD Groep, heeft gemeld dat zij van plan is 39 supermarkten en een deel van de centrale activa van Deen Supermarkten B.V. (hierna: Deen), te weten het Deen hoofdkantoor, de distributiecentra in Hoorn en Beverwijk2, een bloemencentrale en een slagerij in Hoorn, over te nemen. 2. De ACM heeft de melding in de Staatscourant 23150 van 4 mei 2021 gepubliceerd. Van derden heeft de ACM twee zienswijzen ontvangen. Deze zienswijzen behandelt de ACM in dit besluit waar en voor zover ze relevant zijn voor de beoordeling. 2 Partijen 3.

ACM/21/050672 / Documentnr. ACM/UIT/558116 4. Deen is een besloten vennootschap met beperkte aansprakelijkheid naar Nederlands recht. Zij is de 100%-dochtermaatschappij van Deen Holding Hoorn B.V.. Deen is actief op het gebied van de detailhandel in levensmiddelen via 80 supermarkten. Voor al deze supermarkten koopt Deen haar producten in via de inkoopcombinatie Superunie waar zij lid van is. 3 De gemelde operatie 5. De initieel gemelde operatie bestaat uit twee stappen. Als eerste stap verkoopt Deen Holding Hoorn B.V. alle 80 Deen-supermarkten en enkele centrale activa waaronder het Deen hoofdkantoor, enkele distributiecentra, een bloemencentrale, een faciliteit voor de bereiding van maaltijden en een slagerij in Hoorn (alles exclusief het vastgoed) aan AHD door middel van een aandelenoverdracht. Als tweede stap verkoopt AHD 19 supermarkten en een deel van de centrale activa, namelijk de bedrijfsvoering van het distributiecentrum in Beverwijk (inclusief het personeel) en de faciliteit voor de bereiding van maaltijden in Hoorn (inclusief de activa / passiva en het personeel) aan Deka Exploitatiemaatschappij II B.V. (de DekaMarkt en Dirk supermarktformule, hierna: DekaMarkt) en 22 supermarkten aan Vomar Voordeelmarkt B.V. (de Vomar supermarktformule, hierna: Vomar). 6. Als gevolg hiervan blijven uiteindelijk 39 Deen-supermarkten en een deel van de centrale activa3 achter bij AHD (hierna:

  • Social Media Use by Dutch Supermarket Chains
    Social media use by Dutch supermarket chains A digital marketing analysis on brand loyalty Thomas Dijkman 11026057 August 21st, 2018 Supervisor: Dick Heinhuis 2nd Examiner: Tom van Engers Bachelor thesis Information Science Faculty of Science University of Amsterdam ABSTRACT Social media have grown from being entertaining communication platforms into powerful business tools for marketing, promotion and customer service. Consequently, businesses have had to make changes in their marketing strategies to take advantage of the opportunities created by this new social ecosystem. Brand loyalty, which is one of the main goals of marketing efforts, is influenced by social media through different factors like trust and feelings of community. This thesis assesses the efforts made by Dutch supermarket chains on social media to test the effect of social media on their perceived brand loyalty. The factors that stimulate brand loyalty that were found in an extensive literature review were challenged through field research to test their effect on Dutch supermarket brands. The findings of this research show that there is no significant effect of social media efforts on brand loyalty in the case of Dutch supermarket chains. On the contrary, present research confirms that there are unexplored opportunities for Dutch supermarket chains to use social media to increase brand loyalty. From these findings, a general discussion and conclusion are offered, as well as directions for further research. 2 Table of contents 1 Introduction………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 5 1.1 Research objectives……………………………………………………………………………………… 6 1.2 Relevance……………………………………………………………………………………………………. 6 1.2.1 Academic relevance………………………………………………………………………………. 6 1.2.2 Managerial relevance…………………………………………………………………………….. 7 1.3 Research question and subquestions………………………………………………………………. 8 1.4 The Dutch supermarket industry…………………………………………………………………….

  • Investigation Into Albert Heijn's Dominant Market Position Within
    Investigation into Albert Heijn’s dominant market position within Amsterdam and whether it enables them to set prices significantly higher than its competitors’ Sean Blundell - 10398252 Abstract With a market share estimated to be around 30%, Albert Heijn is the indisputable market leader of the Dutch supermarket industry. It is a ubiquitous force throughout the Netherlands, especially within the city of Amsterdam, accounting for approximately 65% of all stores within the area. This spatial control, coupled with the evident lack of competition, may enable Albert Heijn to set prices significantly higher than its competitors, especially in those locations where competition is lacking. This study aims to provide evidence into the matter, via the analysis of prices. Over a four-month period, the prices of 35 items were collected from a sample of Albert Heijn stores and two of its competitors, Vomar and Dirk van den Broek. A largely descriptive statistical approach was adopted to analyse the data, with an adjusted Lerner index being utilised as the main method in distinguishing Albert Heijn’s market power. The overall Lerner index was found to be 0.1005, signifying that Albert Heijn does have considerably more market power than its competitors. Further analysis was focused on differentiating between AH’s pricing in locations where there is competition compared to those where competition is absent. Prices were found to be higher in locations without competition, however, this difference was found to not be statistically significant. 1. Introduction Anyone who has spent an extended period of time in Amsterdam will be all too familiar with the ever-present Albert Heijn (AH).

    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution Date: 6/25/2012 GAIN Report Number: NL2014 Netherlands Retail Foods The Benelux Food Retail Market Approved By: Mary Ellen Smith Prepared By: Marcel Pinckaers Report Highlights: The turnover of the Benelux food retail industry for 2011 is estimated at € 56.3 billion. For 2012, turnover is expected to increase by 2.5 percent. The retail market is fairly consolidated. Top 3 food retailers in the Netherlands have a market share of 64 percent while in Belgium the leading 3 retailers have 72 percent of the market. Sustainable food (including organic products) is one of the most important growth markets in food retail. The market share for private label products continues to go up in both Belgium and the Netherlands. The demand for convenient, healthy and new innovative products continues to be strong. Post: The Hague SECTION I. MARKET SUMMARY Benelux Food Retail Market Approximately 80 percent of the Dutch food retail outlets are full service supermarkets, operating on floor space between 500 and 1,500 square meters located downtown and in residential areas. Retailers with full service supermarkets have responded to the need of the Dutch to have these supermarkets close to their house. The remaining 20 percent includes mainly convenience stores (near office buildings and train/metro stations), some wholesalers and just a few superstores (convenient located alongside highways in shopping malls and industrial parks). The Belgians show a different shopping pattern.
