Albert Heijn sr. Comes from the Heijn family from Oostzaan. In 1887 he took over from his father Jan Heijn his grocery store in the Kerkbuurt of Oostzaan. Eight years later he opened the first branch in Purmerend and in Zaandam he opened a Central Warehouse in 1899.

The basis for its own production companies was laid in 1911, also in Zaandam, where coffee roasting and cake baking began in the kitchen of an old mansion. In 1920 the Company for the Exploitation of Factories and Trade was founded.

Seven years later, in 1927, the store chain celebrated its 40th anniversary. The company now had 107 branches and was awarded the title of Royal Warrant Holder.

In 1952 Albert Heijn opened its first self-service shop in Schiedam.
