Interesting. The Ahold-Wild Oats connections continue to strengthen. Ahold USA first decides to offer Wild Oats-branded departments in selected stores, and then starts selling Wild Oats-branded private label items through its Peapod e-grocery division.
Not that this all adds up to some greater long-term plan. It’s just interesting, and worth noting.
