HANNAFORD BROTHERS CO

HANNAFORD BROTHERS CO

Hannaford Brothers Co operates a regional supermarket chain known for its full-service grocery stores, pharmacy, and fuel center offerings that blend national brands with private-label staples, fresh produce, and prepared meals aimed at busy families and value-conscious consumers across the Northeast corridor. The business leans on SIC 5411 Food Stores dynamics while trying to differentiate through loyalty programs, digital ordering, and community-focused partnerships that help it move perishable goods quickly. Its supply chain spans multiple distribution points, so maintaining food safety, labor stability, and regulatory compliance—particularly around FDA labeling, state retail licensing, and environmental rules tied to refrigeration and transportation—remains a material risk, along with the broader threat of inflationary pressure squeezing margins when commodity and wage costs spike. Investors tracking Hannaford should note CIK 45379 even though the latest filing is unknown, and they can view live SEC filings on Earnings Feed.
