About DEEN

We are a Dutch Food Supermarket chain with 56 stores. Our business is mainly food and grocery. At DEEN we take a deep interest in the impact of our operations and this is as relevant today as it was in 1933 when we opened our first store to bring good-quality, safe food into the reach of the northern part of The Netherlands. Uniquely we source and process most of the fresh food that we sell through our own facilities, giving us close control over provenance and quality. Every week 750 thousand customers pass through our doors and 5300 colleagues across the business work hard every day to deliver great service to them. With competitive prices and almost one hundred special offers, we are proud to save our customers money every day.
