So I will quote it one more time. ;-)

Albert Heijn. Note that I wrote the letter between the 'e' and the 'n' as the Dutch ligature 'ij'. When I learned to write, the 'ij' was the letter between 'x' and 'z' in the Dutch alfabet. Old (<1960) Dutch typewriters had a dedicated key for it.

Nowadays the 'ij' has been replaced bij the two letter combination 'ij'. Trying to revive it is a hobby horse of mine,

And yes, Albert Heijn is a major super market here. The market leader in fact.

 NB> Why would he be open on Boxing day?

So that I can buy beer and other stuff of course. ;-)

 NB> Or did google translate fail me?

Only in regard to the spelling of "Heijn".

 NB> ... "Не знаю. Я здесь только работаю."
