Weis Markets, a US-based food and grocery retailer, has acquired 38 Food Lion stores.

The acquired supermarkets are located in different parts of the US, including Maryland, Virginia and Delaware.

The acquisition has consequentially led to the merger between Koninklijke Ahold, an operator of retail stores based in the Netherlands, and Delhaize Group.

"The acquisition will result in rebranding the 22 Food Lion stores under Supervalu’s Shop ‘N Save format."

Also based in the US, Food Lion operates a chain of grocery stores and is part of Delhaize America, which is a subsidiary of Belgium-based supermarkets and convenience stores operator Delhaize Group.

Supervalu, a grocery wholesaler and retailer based in the US, has decided to acquire 22 Food Lion Stores from Food Lion, a US based operational wing of Delhaize America.

The stores are located in different parts of the US including West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia, with more than 1,200 full and part-time employees.

The acquisition will result in rebranding the 22 Food Lion stores under Supervalu’s Shop ‘N Save format and will initially be operated by Supervalu. After the acquisition, Supervalu expects to offer employment to all interested employees.

The acquisition is, however, subject to customary closing conditions, and approval by the US Federal Trade Commission, which is anticipated to be completed in 105 days.
