DekaMarkt is a Dutch retail company which operates a chain of supermarkets in the country. DekaMarkt is a member of Superunie, a Dutch purchasing organization for supermarkets.

History

The first DekaMarkt opened in 1941 selling groceries in Velsen-Noord opened by Dirk Kat. In 1955 the first real supermarket opened in IJmuiden, where fresh bread, meat and vegetables were available. The name DekaMarkt was first used in 1969, when branches in the Zaanstreek introduced the name. In 1986 the final branch was named DekaMarkt. The term 'Deka' came from Dirk Kat's name.

In 2001 the supermarket became part of the Detailresult B.V group, when it was joined by another Dutch supermarket - Dirk van den Broek. The two are currently considering being fused together to just one name.

There are now DekaMarkts in North Holland, South Holland, Gelderland, Overijssel, Flevoland, Friesland and since recently Drenthe. There are 51 places that currently have at least one DekaMarkt.
