A spokesman for the chain, which employs 55,000 people, declined to comment
Ahold is to reveal specific financial information on Albert Heijn for 2000 to 2002 at a shareholders meeting on 4 September. The meeting will also be used to tell investors that in order to improve efficiency at Albert Heijn, job cuts cannot be ruled out, the source said.
