Royal Ahold, NV, the Dutch food company that owns Stop & Shop, named a new chief executive officer and president for the Quincy, Mass.-based supermarket chain.

Carl Schlicker, an executive with Ahold's Giant Food division in Carlisle, Penn., replaces Jose Alvarez, as head of Stop & Shop. The supermarket chain is the market leader in Rhode Island, with 50.1 percent of sales, according to TDLinx, a service of The Nielsen Company.

Stop & Shop and Giant have been reducing prices on goods as part of an extended program to lure back shoppers from rival discount chains. Stores in the Giant chain also have been undergoing renovations recently.

Both programs were led by Alvarez, who previously served as executive vice president for supply chain and logistics for Ahold's American supermarket chains. Alvarez has been appointed executive vice president of Ahold. He will be responsible for global business development for Ahold, reporting to Ahold CEO John Rishton.

Stop & Shop/Giant-Landover operates more than 560 stores throughout the Eastern United States, including 378 Stop & Shop stores in the Northeast.

On September 18, I shopped at the Stop & Shop on Manton Avenue, Providence. approximately 4:00PM. I arrived at the store there were no shopping carts in the store they were all out in the parking lot. Please be clear there was not one cart in the store.
The shelves were not stocked. I proceeded to the fruit counters,
oranges all of them and I mean all were damaged or had mold on
them. I suggest the manager and assistant managers need to be replaced.

Respectfully,
E. Flynn
