That explains it. All I seemed to pull up on him was that he died. I didn't dig 
into the stories or find out who he actually was or that he started a super 
market chain, though).

You could always stock up before Christmas, too!

I think everything here is open on Boxing day. ;)

 NB>> Or did google translate fail me?

 MV> Only in regard to the spelling of "Heijn".

Thank you for the clarification.

Kinda fit the end of the message on that one, with my confusion and all. ;)

Nick
