DekaMarkt

DekaMarkt is a Dutch retail company which operates a chain of supermarkets in the country.

[1] Dutch businessman Dirk Kat opened his first grocery store in Velsen-Noord in 1941, but it had to close in 1944 as a result of the German occupation of the Netherlands.

In 1950, Kat established joint purchasing with other grocers so that together they could guarantee low prices to their customers.

At the beginning of 2013, the DekaMarkt stores were converted to a new formula, which would give them the look and feel of a real market.

The garden centre, DekaTuin, opened its doors in March 2008 in Heiloo, and later a second location was added in Haarlem.
