Closing One Stop & Shop Won't Solve Ahold's Woes
By JOHN KOSTRRZEWA

Stop & Shop, the biggest supermarket chain in Rhode Island, is in trouble on both sides of the ocean.

Its decision last week to close its Reservoir Avenue store in Providence could be the first ripple of a bigger shakeup.

Stop & Shop's owner, Royal Ahold NV, based in Amsterdam, is still struggling to recover from one of Europe's worst accounting scandals. The fraud ousted the corporation's top officers. Their replacements have yet to find the formula to spur flat sales.

In the U.S., the company's food distribution business, a big contributor to Ahold's overall sales, was caught up in the same financial mess and has been reorganized.

Sales at Ahold's two retail chains - Stop & Shop and Giant- Landover -- have slipped for two straight quarters.

Customers are leaving Stop & Shop for Wal-Mart, for high-end grocery stores, such as Whole Foods Market, and for smaller chains, executives have said. And still-high gasoline prices and rising interest rates have squeezed consumers' food budgets.

If all that isn't enough to worry about, two hedge funds that own 6.4 percent of Royal Ahold's stock are pressuring the directors to break up the company. Centaurus Capital and Paulson & Co. want Ahold to sell its U.S. operations, including Stop & Shop, to boost the stock price.

Wall Street analysts say it could happen.

Newspapers in the Netherlands report that Ahold is talking to rival Delhaize Group about selling its U.S. units and refocusing the business in Europe. The silence from both companies signals something may be up.

If a deal takes place, it will end Ahold's ten-year adventure in the Northeast with its 1996 acquisition of Stop & Shop, based in Quincy, Mass.

Back then, Ahold had big plans to dominate the region.

The accounting scandal, however, derailed all that by damaging the company's relationship with employees, customers and investors.

Ahold admitted inflating its sales and overstating its earnings from 1999 to 2002 by $1.23 billion, mostly by pumping up sales at its U.S. Foodservice subsidiary, which distributes food to military bases, local governments, restaurants and caterers.

The disclosure triggered a two-thirds drop in Ahold's stock price and pushed the company in 2003 to the brink of bankruptcy.

Ahold's chief executive and chief financial officer were convicted of fraud and ousted. The head of the food distribution business in the U.S. also pleaded guilty to fraud and resigned. Prosecutors alleged he used phony promotional allowance documents provided by vendors to inflate profits. More than a dozen people who worked for company vendors, including several Rhode Islanders, were implicated in the case.

The fraud sparked an SEC probe and a settlement that included lifetime bans against the officers ever working for a publicly traded company. Tens of thousands of claims were filed by shareholders who alleged they were given misleading financial reports. Ahold agreed to a $1.1-billion settlement of a class- action lawsuit, the most money ever paid by a European company to settle U.S. fraud charges. On Thursday, the U.S. Justice Department said Ahold won't be criminally prosecuted on fraud claims.

Ahold's directors brought in Anders Moberg as president and chief executive officer to restore confidence, sell assets, cut debt and increase the stock price. He talked about reducing prices in the supermarkets, adding private-label products and remodeling stores to revive sales.

But there have been disappointments from Stop & Shop in each of the last three quarters.

In January, Ahold revised its fourth-quarter sales figures saying same-store sales at Stop & Shop rose 1.3 percent, not the previously reported 1.8 percent because of a "manual calculation error."

This year, first-quarter sales at Ahold's Stop & Shop/Giant- Landover segment fell 0.8 percent to $5 billion.

Second-quarter sales slipped 0.2 percent at Stop & Shop and 0.4 percent at Giant-Landover.

In April, Moberg hired Jose Alvarez to replace Marc Smith who retired as head of Stop & Shop. But it may not be enough. Moberg in March halved the company's projected sales growth to 2.5 percent this year.

Ahold has reportedly hired Goldman Sachs Group for financial advice as speculation swirled in Europe that Belgium-based Delhaize, owner of Food Lion and Hannaford Bros. in the U.S., wanted to expand by buying Stop & Shop and Giant-Landover.

Analysts set the price tag at $11 billion.

Moberg has stepped up plans to battle Wal-Mart and the other specialty chains while trimming unprofitable units. He sold 46 Tops supermarkets in Ohio because of weak sales to concentrate on the New York and Pennsylvania markets.

And last week, Stop & Shop said it would close its four-year-old store on the South Side of Providence by the end of the year.

The company gave no explanation and didn't offer any clues about what may happen next. But more news is coming.

Re: #29: @SSP - Super Stop & Shop was parent to Bradlees,

Years ago if you had a Bradlees store there was usually a Stop and Shop next door.

We had them both here and then they closed. Now we have one Super Stop and Shop and another one coming soon.

I'm not sure if they are still connected with Bradlees anymore though
