At the end of 2002, executives from Jumbo met with Ahold executives to discuss Jumbo’s interest in Ahold’s Chilean supermarket operations, Dow Jones News reported, citing Chilean newspaper El Mercurio.
Ahold reportedly expressed interest in the idea, but was focused on first restructuring Santa Isabel, of which Ahold only recently took 100% control.
