This Amendment No. 14 (the "Amendment") to the
statement on Schedule 13D amends and supplements the
statement on Schedule 13D originally filed on October 1,
1979 (the "Schedule 13D") and the amendments to the
Schedule 13D filed by the reporting persons with respect

"Common Stock"), of Hannaford Bros. Co. ("Hannaford").
ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND
(a) The names of the persons filing this Amendment to this
statement are Empire Company Limited ("Empire"), E.C.L.
Investments Limited ("E.C.L."), Pauljan Limited
("Pauljan"), Sobeys Inc. Master Trust Investment Fund, a

Sobeys Trust is set forth in Appendices A, B, C, D and E

therein are citizens of Canada.
(d) None of the Reporting Persons, or to the best of their
knowledge, any person named in the Appendices has been
convicted in any criminal proceeding during the last five
years (excluding traffic violations or similar
misdemeanors).
(e) None of the Reporting Persons, or to the best of their

jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is
subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining
future violation of, or prohibiting or mandating
activities subject to, federal or state securities laws
or finding any violation with respect to such laws.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION
On May 3, 1999, Empire notified Hannaford that the Amended and
Restated Agreement, dated as of February 4, 1998, as amended by the
Amendment Agreement, dated January 1, 1992, and the Second Amendment
Agreement, dated as of May 14, 1996, among Empire, certain of its
affiliates and Hannaford (the "Amended and Restated Agreement") will not be
extended and therefore, by its terms, will terminate not later than
December 31, 1999. Empire's purpose in delivering the notice is to enhance
Empire's flexibility in realizing the inherent value in its shares of
Hannaford Common Stock.
The Reporting Persons currently do not have any plans or
proposals which may relate to or would result in:
(a) The acquisition of additional securities of Hannaford, or
the disposition of securities of Hannaford;
(b) An extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger,
reorganization or liquidation, involving Hannaford or any
of its subsidiaries;
(c) A sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of
Hannaford or of any of its subsidiaries;
(d) Any change in the present board of directors or
management of Hannaford, including any plans or proposals
to change the number or term of directors or to fill any
existing vacancies on the board;
(e) Any material change in the present capitalization or
dividend policy of Hannaford;
(f) Any other material change in Hannaford's business or
corporate structure;
(g) Any changes in Hannaford's charter, bylaws or instruments
corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede
the acquisition of control of Hannaford by any person;
(h) Causing a class of securities of Hannaford to be delisted
from a national securities exchange or to cease to be
authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation
system of a registered national securities association;
(i) A class of equity securities Hannaford becoming eligible
for termination or registration pursuant to Section
12(g)(4) of the Exchange Act; or
(j) Any action similar to any of those enumerated above.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER
(a) In its Proxy Statement for its 1999 Annual Meeting of
Shareholders, Hannaford stated that, as of March 23, 1999, there were a
total of 42,229,109 shares of its Common Stock issued and outstanding. The
percentages of outstanding shares of Hannaford Common Stock set forth below
as beneficially owned by the reporting persons are based on this total
number of outstanding shares. As of the date hereof:
(i) Empire owns beneficially (including the shares reported in
Items 5(a)(ii), (iv) and (v)) 10,799,812 shares or approximately 25.6% of
the outstanding Hannaford Common Stock.
(ii) E.C.L. owns beneficially 4,868,104 shares or approximately
11.5% of the outstanding Hannaford Common Stock.
(iii) Pauljan and David F. Sobey share beneficial ownership of
36,109 shares or approximately 0.1% of the outstanding Hannaford Common
Stock.
(iv) The Sobeys Pension Plan owns beneficially 366,428 shares
or approximately .9% of the outstanding Hannaford Common Stock.
(v) The Sobeys Trust owns beneficially 14,819 shares or
approximately .04% of the outstanding Hannaford Common Stock.
Because the investment decisions of the Sobeys Pension Plan and the
Sobeys Trust are made by its Pension Committee and Trustees, respectively,
which are appointed and controlled by Empire, Empire may be deemed to be
the beneficial owners of the shares of Hannaford Common Stock reported in
Item 5(a)(iv) and (v). Empire disclaims beneficial ownership of such
shares.
The total number of shares of Hannaford Common Stock beneficially
owned by all the Reporting Persons is 10,835,921 or approximately 25.7% of
the outstanding Hannaford Common Stock.
(b) (i) Empire has sole power to vote or to direct the vote, and sole
power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of 10,799,812 shares of
Hannaford Common Stock, and Empire shares with E.C.L. power to vote or to
direct the vote, and power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of
4,868,104 shares of Hannaford Common Stock.
(ii) E.C.L. shares with Empire power to vote or to direct the
vote, and power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of 4,868,104
shares of Hannaford Common Stock.
(iii) Pauljan and David F. Sobey share power to vote or to
direct the vote, and power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of
36,109 shares of Hannaford Common Stock.
(iv) the Sobeys Pension Plan has the sole power to vote or
direct the vote, and the sole power to dispose or to direct the
disposition, of 366,428 shares of Hannaford Common Stock.
(v) The Sobeys Trust has sole power to vote or to direct the
vote, and sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition, of 14,819
shares of Hannaford Common Stock.
Because the investment decisions of the Sobeys Pension Plan and the
Sobeys Trust are made by its Pension Committee and Trustees, respectively,
which are appointed and controlled by Empire, Empire may be deemed to share
power to vote or to direct the vote, or to dispose or to direct the
disposition, of some or all of the shares reported in 5(a)(iv) and (v) with
the entity holding such shares. Empire, disclaims sharing the power to vote
or to direct the vote, or to dispose or to direct the disposition, of such
shares.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR
RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
See Item 4 regarding the notice of termination of the Amended and
Restated Agreement sent by Empire to Hannaford on May 3, 1999.
ITEM 7. MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.
(1) Agreement of Reporting Persons and Power of
Attorney.
