Duncan Hoy, general manager of Plus, commented, "After we reached an agreement in September about joining forces, we can now proudly say that our merger is final. "Today begins our common future, in which we commit ourselves every day to making good food [...] a reality for our customers." (Via The European Supermarket Magazine.)
