Ahold, which operates the Stop & Shop, Giant, Food Lion and Hannaford chains in the United States, its biggest market, and the Albert Heijn and Delhaize chains in the Netherlands and Belgium, posted sales up 4.3% at constant exchange rates to 22.1 billion euros.

However it is still affecting costs "due to higher energy, commodity, transport and labour costs, all of which are having a particularly notable impact on our European margins".
