3 April 2012

Dear Sirs,

Delhaize Group SA (the Company)

Registration Statement on Form F-3

1. We have acted as Belgian legal counsel to the Company in connection with the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act), pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form F-3 filed on 3 April 2012 (the Registration Statement) by the Company and its subsidiaries listed on Schedule 1 hereto (the Guarantors) with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the offering from time to time by the Company of an unspecified number or amount and aggregate initial offering price of senior unsecured debt securities of the Company (the Debt Securities), as set forth in the Registration Statement, the base prospectus contained therein (the Prospectus) and one or more supplements to the Prospectus (each a Prospectus Supplement).

This opinion is being furnished in accordance with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act. The Debt Securities will be issued under the Indenture (as defined in Schedule 2 hereto). Guarantees by the Guarantors that benefit the Debt Securities are made by the Guarantors under a cross guarantee agreement dated 21 May 2007, as amended and supplemented from time to time, by and among the Company and the Guarantors.

For the purpose of this opinion, we have reviewed the originals or copies of, and relied upon the statements as to factual matters contained in or made pursuant to, the documents listed in Schedule 2 hereto (the Documents).

Terms defined in Schedule 2 hereto shall have the same meaning when used in this letter.

Limitations

2. This opinion is subject to the following limitations:

(a) this opinion is confined to the laws of Belgium and, insofar as they are directly applicable in Belgium, the European Union, all as they stand as at the date hereof and as such laws are currently interpreted in published authoritative case law of the courts of Belgium (Belgian law), accordingly, we express no opinion with regard to any other system of law (including the law of jurisdictions other than Belgium in which our firm has an office);

(b) in rendering this opinion, we have exclusively examined the Documents and we have conducted such investigations of Belgian law as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purpose of giving this opinion letter, as to matters of fact we have relied on the Documents and any other document we have deemed relevant, and on statements or certificates of public officials;

(c) we express no opinion as to the correctness of any representation and/or statement given by any of the parties (express or implied) under or by virtue of the Documents, save if and insofar as the matters represented and/or stated are the subject matter of a specific opinion herein;

(d) we have not been responsible for investigating or verifying the accuracy of the facts (or statements of foreign law) or the reasonableness of any statements of opinion or intention contained in any Document, or for verifying that no material facts or provisions have been omitted therefrom;

(e) Belgian legal concepts are expressed in this opinion in English terms and not in their original Dutch or French terms; the concepts concerned may not be identical to the concepts described by the same English terms as they exist in the laws of other jurisdictions; accordingly, any issues of interpretation arising in respect of the Documents and this opinion will be determined by Belgian courts in accordance with Belgian law and we express no opinion on the interpretation that Belgian courts may make of any such expressions or descriptions;

(f) we have only examined the Indenture and the Global Debt Security Form with a view to understanding the nature and scope of the obligations to be undertaken thereunder by the Company, for the sole purpose of rendering an opinion on the specific matters set out in Section 4 below; accordingly, we have not considered, and express herein no opinion with respect to, any other matter;

(g) headings are inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in the interpretation of this opinion;

(h) this opinion is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium as at the date of this letter; and
