Rising sales at Ahold’s domestic Albert Heijn business lifted the group’s performance in the third quarter, which saw more modest sales gains in the US.  


Netherlands-based retailer Ahold today (20 October) posted a 4.3% rise in net sales, which rose to EUR6bn (US$8.98bn) in the period.


Sales at the company’s flagship banner, Albert Heijn, rose 5.4%, trailed by its US banners Stop & Shop/Giant-Landover and Giant-Carlisle, which saw sales rise 1.9% and 0.8% respectively.


The company, which generates about 60% of sales in the US, said that sales were hit by deflation and pricing investments.


The result was however boosted by currency exchange, with sales rising 2.6% at constant exchange rates.
