Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Edition. A richly illustrated history of one of Belgium's most important retail companies and one of the pioneering names in European food distribution. Founded in the nineteenth century, Delhaize "De Leeuw" developed from a Belgian grocery enterprise into an international retail group. This substantial illustrated volume traces that transformation through historic photographs, advertisements, shop interiors, packaging, company documents and other archival material. The book is particularly strong as a visual history of changing retail culture: traditional grocery shops, distribution networks, branding and advertising, the emergence of self-service, the development of the modern supermarket and the international expansion of the Delhaize group all form part of the story. Delhaize played an important role in the modernization of Belgian food retail. Its history includes the development of a centrally supplied network of grocery stores and, in the twentieth century, the introduction of modern self-service retailing. Published by Lannoo in 2003, this Dutch-language edition contains 218 pages with numerous black-and-white and colour illustrations. A particularly interesting volume for collectors and researchers interested in Belgian business history, retail history, supermarket history, advertising, packaging, consumer culture and corporate archives. condition Very Good Condition description Very good used copy.
