The company was owned by the participating retailers until 2000 when half of the company was sold to the Dutch retailer Ahold.

Most of its operations are based in Scandinavia, and the company is the largest retail company in the Nordic countries. (references)

Ica stones The Ica stones are a collection of andesite stones alleged to include ancient depictions of dinosaurs and advanced technology. The Ica stones were popularized by Dr. Javier Cabrera, a Peruvian medical doctor who received an engraved stone as a birthday gift. Cabrera identified the engraving as a stylized depiction of an "extinct fish" that had, to the best of anyone's knowledge, gone extinct millions of years before (Note that the fish is really not identifiable with a particular kind, extinct or not). The discovery caught the attention of Carlos and Pablo Soldi, two collectors of artifacts who had failed to interest the archaeological community with their findings, but found an interested party in Cabrera. They sold him 341 similar stones. Cabrera soon found another supplier, named Basilio Uschuya. From these and other sources over the next thirty-five years, he would collect over 15,000 engraved stones. (references)
