Norwegian discount variety retail chain selling household goods and groceries at low prices from a large store network.
Norwegian discount variety retail chain selling household goods and groceries at low prices from a large store network.
Buys goods in volume, much of it imported directly from Asian factories, and sells at low shelf prices, so profit depends on holding the gap between buying and selling prices while keeping store and distribution costs low. Costs are partly in foreign currency while sales are in kroner, so exchange rates matter.
In one line: Norway's Dollar General/B&M discount variety retailer.
Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage, distribution). Largest discount variety chain in Norway with scale purchasing and store density.
Headquarters: Fredrikstad, Norway · Founded: 1992 · Employees: 3,202
