Albert (supermarket)
Albert (officially Albert Česká republika, sro ) is a Czech supermarket chain headquartered in Prague and part of the Ahold Delhaize Group.
The company (at that time under the name Euronova as) had existed in Czechoslovakia since 1990. Today Albert operates around 330 branches throughout the Czech Republic .
history
The company opened its first branch in 1991 under the brand name Mana. This branch in Jihlava was the first supermarket in all of Czechoslovakia.
In 2005 the Ahold Delhaize Group took over 56 Czech branches from the Austrian supermarket chain Julius Meinl , which withdrew from the Czech market.
In 2009 all Hypernova stores, which also belong to the Delhaize Group, were renamed Albert Hypermarket.
In March 2014 the company bought 35 hypermarkets and 14 supermarkets from Spar for more than 5.2 billion Czech crowns . This made Albert the largest supermarket chain in the Czech Republic, with around 330 branches.
