Voor de supermarktketen is het een langverwachte comeback, maar dan in een nieuw, stedelijk jasje.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zeven jaar later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tussen 2015 en 2017 was er al een supermarkt van de Nederlandse keten aan het Engels plein. Door de fusie tussen Ahold en Delhaize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildetail.be\/nl\/news\/food\/fermeture-dalbert-heijn-a-louvain\/\">moest de winkel echter sluiten<\/a>, maar de studentenstad bleef op het verlanglijstje van AH staan. \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildetail.be\/nl\/news\/food\/keert-albert-heijn-nu-wel-of-niet-terug-naar-leuven\/\">Met stip bovenaan<\/a>\u201d zelfs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eerdere <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildetail.be\/nl\/news\/food\/albert-heijn-komt-terug-naar-leuven\/\">pogingen met meerdere panden strandden<\/a>, en ook op de huidige locatie had de opening aardig wat voeten in de aarde. In&nbsp;2023 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.retaildetail.be\/nl\/news\/food\/leuvenaars-protesteren-tegen-komst-albert-heijn\/\">dienden twee buurtbewoners bezwaar in<\/a> tegen de komst van de supermarkt. Franchisenemer Pieter-Jan Vaes, die al een Albert Heijn in Merksem uitbaat, is dan ook blij dat het eindelijk zover is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Zelfscan en ruime openingstijden<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>De supermarkt is met 1200&nbsp;m\u00b2 oppervlakte nauwelijks kleiner dan de vorige in Leuven (1400&nbsp;m\u00b2), maar oogt wel heel anders door de ligging midden in de winkelstraat. Zo is er geen parking voor auto&#8217;s, maar wel een grote fietsenstalling. Ook rekent de winkel sterk op studenten en gemaksshoppers, met een ruim aanbod bereide maaltijden en een aparte hoek voor verspakketten \u2013 strategisch aan het raam naar de winkelstraat geplaatst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verder zijn er negentien zelfscankassa&#8217;s en slechts \u00e9\u00e9n compacte bemande kassa. Wel is er een zelfscankassa voorzien die ook cash aanvaardt. Ondanks die automatisering rekent Vaes nog op dertig full-time equivalenten in de winkel, goed voor een zestigtal medewerkers in totaal. De vestiging is elke dag van 8 tot 21 uur open, ook op zon- en feestdagen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Albert Heijn deelt het pand met <strong>Basic-Fit<\/strong>, die op de eerste verdieping komt. Leveringen gebeuren drie keer per dag achteraan de winkel, met zogenoemde \u201ccity trailers\u201d \u2013 compacte levertrucks met een capaciteit van 28&nbsp;rolcontainers. De vrachtwagens moesten op de openingsdag echter wijken voor Viktor Verhulst, die bij de opening een DJ-set kwam draaien aan de los- en laadzone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Albert Heijn opende vandaag in Leuven de deuren van een winkel op de Bondgenotenlaan.
