Albert Heijn B.V. is the largest Dutch supermarket chain, founded in 1887 in Oostzaan, Netherlands. It is named after Albert Heijn, Sr., the founder of the first store in Oostzaan.

Albert Heijn is the oldest organization owned and operated by the Dutch supermarket operator Ahold. The founder of the company (Albert Heijn) was born in 1865. In fact, the name "Ahold" is short for Albert Heijn Holding. In 1952, Albert Heijn initiated the self-service store. For the first time, the customers were not served one by one but could pick their products by themselves.

The stores are full-service markets (as opposed to discounters), known for their focus on quality stores and products. 

In 1981 Albert Heijn started with the AH franchise formula, in which independent supermarket entrepreneurs operate under the name AH. In the same year, the campaign started: the country's largest grocer will look after the little ones.

Albert Heijn celebrated its centenary in 1987 and its parent company Ahold received the designation "Royal".
