Albert Heijn - From Grocery Store to Supermarket Empire
Albert Heijn began its journey in 1887 when Albert Heijn Sr. took over his father’s grocery store. In the following years, the company grew rapidly and opened its first branch in Purmerend in 1895. The Albert Heijn brand was introduced in 1910, and the company expanded its production capabilities with factories along the Zaan for products such as coffee, tea, and biscuits. By 1927, exactly 40 years after its founding, Albert Heijn had 107 branches and was honored with the title of Royal Supplier.

The company continued to innovate, as seen with the opening of the first self-service store in 1952, and the modern logo was designed in 1965. Today, Albert Heijn remains one of the most prominent supermarket chains in the Netherlands.
