Now that Delhaize and Louis Delhaize are finally one, will this also benefit shopping Belgians?

A big blow to the supermarket landscape: with the takeover of the small Louis Delhaize, the already large Delhaize has become another 325 stores richer in one fell swoop. Why is the department store chain taking on this monster deal? Will the new stores soon be under the familiar Delhaize brand? And above all: will this benefit the Belgian consumer? “Last-minute shopping is becoming increasingly important and these stores are perfect for that.”
