I agree Delhaize is a solid company, but the 6 Billion you refer to is what type of profit exactly?
Looking at their FY08 financials the entirety of the company had ~ 700m in net profit, and for US operations:
2008
Number of stores 1,594
Revenues (B) 19,239
Operating profit(B) 1,060
Operating margin 5.5%
Capital expenditures(m) 707
