History[edit | edit source]
Arthur Hannaford opened the first Hannaford store in Portland, Maine in 1883. The store initially focused on selling fresh produce and quickly gained popularity for its high-quality products. Over the years, Hannaford expanded its offerings and opened more stores in various locations.
In 1902, Hannaford introduced a new concept by offering self-service shopping, allowing customers to browse and select products themselves. This innovative approach revolutionized the grocery shopping experience and set the foundation for modern supermarkets.
Throughout the 20th century, Hannaford continued to grow and adapt to changing consumer needs. In 1999, the company was acquired by the Dutch retail conglomerate Ahold, which later merged with Delhaize Group to form Ahold Delhaize.
