Wow. This Albert Heijn is an XL grocery and huge. My friends who live in Leiden shop here…read moreregularly, and as an American, I was curious to see how it compares to stores in the US. You can shop one of two ways. Grab a handheld scanner when you walk in and use a self-checkout, or you can place items in your basket and go through the line the old fashioned way. Our friend used the scanner, but we weren't that adventurous and scanned at the register. No matter which method you use, they have employees to help. As far as groceries go, you can find everything you need here, from groceries to drinks to household items such as paper towels and toilet paper. Even if you buy meat and cheese at the farmer's market, you'll still need a supermarket for some items, and this one is the perfect choice. Albert Heijn has ready made sushi, a bakery, a deli, and so much more. They have ready-made salads and prepared foods in the deli, and I bought a Couscous Abrikoos meal. Since my friends were having fried food and I wanted to give my body something lighter and healthier, I microwaved it for dinner, and it was delicious. We returned to Albert Heijn on our last night in town to stock up on candy and other goodies. The store has a huge selection, and I was glad to not have to track down candy at the airport. If you have a car, parking is free in the garage. You take an escalator "ramp" to the store, and the carts "lock" into the escalator so they don't fall. The Dutch really have shopping figured out!

This Albert Heijn feels almost American in scale - huge parking lot, right off the A44, and…read moreridiculously easy to access whether you're driving or biking. Coming from Amsterdam, I'm always amazed by how big this place is and how much easier it is to navigate compared to cramped city supermarkets. The selection is incredible. They carry items I can't even find in Amsterdam, like ready-made airfryer meals and specialty products. Plus, having the fish market, Gall & Gall, and Etos all in the same complex means you can knock out multiple errands in one stop - super convenient. The only real downside? Prices could be better, but that's Albert Heijn in general, not specific to this location. If you're in the Katwijk area and have a car, this is hands-down the most convenient option. Plenty of parking, massive selection, and you won't feel like you're playing supermarket Tetris just to grab groceries!

This is the best supermarket in Holland as far as I am concerned!!…read more It is modern and large! something you don't see so much in Holland, plus is has a large selection of international foods! something else you don't get in Holland that much either! I have never had to queue very long at the checkout either nothing but good shopping experiences. Holland has finally opened itself up to the modern shopping experience which caters for more people rather than just the ones who like to eat bread and cheese or meat a potato. Look at the opening times too, till 10 every night, how great is that! The negative thing I would say is, we have been there on a Saturday and couldn't park the car, but if you go on a week night there is plenty of space.
