context_page_description: Albert Heijn B.V. is the largest Dutch supermarket chain, founded in 1887 in Oostzaan, Netherlands. It is named after Albert Heijn, Sr., the founder of the first store in Oostzaan. Today the store has 985 locations in the Netherlands. Albert Heijn stores have also been in Belgium since 2011, with around 50 branches in Flanders by mid-2020. In Germany several Albert Heijn to-go's were created between 2012-2018 but have since been closed down since April 1, 2018 due to slow growth. Albert Heijn also operated in Curaçao from 2007-2016, until a change in ownership to Gerald Van Den Tweel who disassociated from the company changing the name to "Van Den Tweel", but chose to continue to sell the inventory of Albert Heijn products.
