Acquisition By Jumbo
In September 2011 CVC announced that they want to sell the C1000-organisation. CVC received biddings from several groups; Jumbo Supermarkten, Sligro Food Group, Edeka and Sperwer Group. CVC wants to close deal before the end of 2011. On 23 November 2011 it was announced that Jumbo will take over all C1000 stores. Because of this Jumbo becomes the second supermarket chain in the Netherlands. But this will not mean that the C1000 stores will disappear, many of them will continue with the name.

Famous quotes containing the words acquisition and/or jumbo:
“Whatever may be our just grievances in the southern states, it is fitting that we acknowledge that, considering their poverty and past relationship to the Negro race, they have done remarkably well for the cause of education among us. That the whole South should commit itself to the principle that the colored people have a right to be educated is an immense acquisition to the cause of popular education.”
—Fannie Barrier Williams (1855–1944)
“I’m a priest, not a priestess.... “Priestess” implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world—it’s better than being invisible.”
—Carter Heyward (b. 1946)
