| | ICA drops Ahold name |
 | | ICA claimed that the decision to rebrand its business was not related to Ahold's current financial troubles - the company is reeling from the impact of widespread fraud - but was meant to "sharpen the clarity of ICA's profile in the market". |
 | | In a statement, ICA said that the Nordic food retail industry was in a state of powerful change, with increased competition from both established players and new entrants, as well as from restaurants, convenience stores and fast-food chains. |
 | | ICA is present in six countries - Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - and operates under the ICA and RIMI fascias in the food retail sector, ICA Menyföretagen in foodservice, ICA Banken in financial services, Etos in the pharmacy sector and Statoil Detaljhandel in the service station sector. |
