AHOLD COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF NEARLY ALL KONMAR SUPERMARKETS IN THE NETHERLANDS

Amsterdam, The Netherlands, November 14, 2006 - Ahold today announced it has
successfully completed the acquisition of nearly all Konmar stores in the
Netherlands, the purchase of which had been agreed with Laurus Nederland B.V.

Out of the 29 Konmar stores, 27 stores, of which 3 are franchise stores, are now
included in the Ahold group. Of these 27 stores, 21 stores, including 2
franchise stores, will be operated by Albert Heijn B.V., while 6 stores,
including 1 franchise store, will be transferred to and operated by Ahold's
consolidated subsidiary Schuitema N.V. The remaining 2 stores, including 1
franchise store, are expected to be transferred to Albert Heijn upon the
fulfilment of certain contractual conditions, which is expected in the first
half of 2007, on a store-by-store basis. Albert Heijn and Schuitema have paid a
combined price of EUR 100,9 million for the stores. The inventory and certain
receivables are included in the purchase price.

Conversion of the acquired stores into Albert Heijn and C1000 supermarkets has
started. The first opening of a former Konmar store, rebranded and remodeled as
an Albert Heijn store, is expected in late November 2006. Ahold announced the
transaction on May 31, 2006. Closing of the transaction was subject to certain
closing conditions.
