History
The original business was established in 1942 by Dirk van den Broek (1924-2020) as a milk store in Amsterdam. In 1948 it was converted into a self-service market. The first supermarket was opened in 1953, also in Amsterdam.
In 1972 Dirk started the Digros formule located in Katwijk, in 1973 he bought the supermarkets from Bas van der Heijden which were located around Rotterdam.
In 2009 the company of Dirk van den Broek merged with Dirk Kat's DekaMarkt into the Detailresult Group. From 2014 its brands Dirk van den Broek, Digros and Bas van der Heijden continued as Dirk.[1]

gollark: It's documented in PS#ABB85797: "Utilizing unknown means possibly involving direct bytecode manipulation, [REDACTED], and side-channel attacks, the program [DATA EXPUNGED], potentially resulting in a cascading failure/compromise of other networked computers and associated PotatOS-related systems such as the ODIN defense coordination network and Skynet, which would result in a ΛK-class critical failure scenario."
gollark: All *known* copies of it were deleted because it is very dangerous.
gollark: Anyway, right now it seems to mostly be inactive. But there's not a good way to tell how much it's doing. Occasionally some stuff with "Siri" in it trips the potatOS code filtering, but it seems to mostly just be people testing the potatOS code filtering.
gollark: I had to *block* it in PotatOS, because it could cause a ΛK-class critical failure scenario.
