Commencing in 2019, Ahold Delhaize USA initiated a program of developing distribution centers with an associated logistics capability to support 65 percent of center store volume by 2021.  The company plans to expand the U.S. distribution network to incorporate 85 percent of items required by the end of 2022. 

In September, the company commissioned a one million square foot distribution center in Manchester, CT. mainly to supply the Stop & Shop chain.  The Carlyle PA. distribution center serves 187 Giant, Martin’s and other Ahold Delhaize banners in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia.  Additional distribution centers will be established in Bethlehem and York, PA; Chester, NY with two fully automated frozen warehouses in Mountville, PA. and Plainville, CT. respectively. The Ahold Delhaize USA supply chain group includes procurement, transportation and distribution to serve 2,044 stores and operations on the East coast.
