Hannaford Bros. Co., LLC is an American supermarket chain based in Scarborough, Maine. Founded in Portland, Maine, in 1883, Hannaford operates stores in New England and New York. It is currently headquartered in Scarborough, Maine.
Their parent company Ahold Delhaize is based overseas and has a wide portfolio of other supermarket brands including Stop & Shop and Food Lion brands.
Multiple serious lawsuits have been filed against Hannaford in recent years. Some are related to data breaches while others are related to unfair classification of managers as being exempt from overtime payment.
Hannaford’s 9,500 employees in Maine make it the state’s second-largest private employer after MaineHealth, which has over 21,000 employees, according to state data. The company employs nearly 4,000 associates in the state of New Hampshire as well. The rest of the company's nearly 25,000 overall employees work in locations spread across Vermont, Massachusetts and New York.
The supermarket chain's employees are not covered by any union organization, which means it is easier for upper management to fire, demote and discipline employees unfairly without facing any significant repercussions. This means the only way to fight back against corrupt corporate practices is through either litigation or protest platforms like this web-site.
