Jumbo choosen as best supermarkt of the Netherlands

Jumbo Supermarkts can look back at a great year. The company had a turn-over of 1.473 billion euro in 2008, a growth of aprox. Seventeen percent compared with 2007. The growth was higher than expected. The growth was mainly realized in the existing stores.
The number of new stores was limited to four stores (Enschede, Lichtenvoorde, Amersfoort and Oirschot). The board of directors of Jumbo expects to open tien new stores in 2009 and looks forward with trust to the upcoming year, despite the threat of the financial crisis. “We see the current economical situation as an opportunity for our formula with the focus on the lowest price”, comments Jumbo-director Frits van Eerd. “In combination with the big assortment, quality and service this formula currently is stronger than ever. It doesn´t mather what other formulas will do, we remain with our lowest price warantee. This is how we guarantee that the consumer always buys the cheapest at Jumbo (Translation from origal source: RetailNews)
