New setback for Jumbo: Contractor for distribution center runs into difficulty

Project in danger

Jumbo, one of the largest supermarket chains in the Netherlands, is facing another setback in the construction of its new distribution center in Nieuwegein. The contractor responsible for the construction, Heijmans, has run into difficulties and there is a danger that the project will not be completed on time.

Risk of delay

According to a spokesperson for Jumbo, the situation is causing concern. “The construction of the distribution center is of great importance to us, and we are very disappointed that Heijmans is experiencing difficulties. We are doing everything we can to ensure that the project is completed on time, but we cannot rule out the risk of delay at this stage.”

Financial struggles

Reports suggest that Heijmans is struggling financially, which could be a factor in the current situation. However, Jumbo has stated that it is not willing to comment on the contractor’s financial situation.

Alternative plan

In the event that the project is delayed, Jumbo has already drawn up an alternative plan. The company will lease a temporary distribution center in Waalwijk, which will be used until the Nieuwegein location is completed.
