Our business

The first REMA shop opened on 15 February 1979. Since then, it has offered its customers a good variety of quality grocery products at low prices. REMA 1000 was the first grocery chain to operate as a franchise organisation. In Norway, the REMA 1000 chain went nationwide by 1990, while the Danish adventure started in 1994. REMA 1000 aims to be a symbol of common sense, a down-to-earth approach and good old-fashioned skill. REMA 1000 will use product exposure, logical concepts and helpful employees to offer groceries to its customers.
REMA 1000 Norway and REMA 1000 Denmark are individual concept companies in Reitan Retail.

REMA 1000 Norway

The REMA 1000 Norway business concept is: Customers choose us because we have the lowest prices on high-quality goods – produced and sold in a responsible way.

At REMA 1000 it’s not embarrassing to choose a simple approach – it’s genius, hence the expression “Keep it simple”. In Norway, REMA 1000 has its service office in Oslo, with regional offices and distributors all across the country. REMA 1000 Norway currently consists of REMA 1000 Distribunal and a number of other brand-name products such as Kjeldsberg, Solvinge, Norsk Kylling and Kolonihagen.

REMA 1000 Denmark

REMA 1000 Denmark is a national discount chain focusing on quality at low prices, discount with an attitude. REMA 1000 in Denmark is so much more than just a lot of product numbers. They work with people on both sides of the cash register. Using efficient operations with high product volume, REMA 1000 can sell good-quality products at low prices. REMA 1000 Denmark wants to win, and to be the best at what they do. That’s why the company is full of colleagues with professional expertise and strong personal values. In Denmark, REMA 1000 consists, among other things, of its own brand-name products and goods from Gram Slot. We also have REMA Distribution in Denmark, which delivers goods to REMA 1000 and other chains within the grocery and convenience segments. REMA Distribution does more than just move goods from A to B. Their focus is on the entire value chain, from idea to finished product.

How can we offer our customers the opportunity of ordering groceries online, while making sure that the turnover benefits the local merchants?

That question was posed by REMA 1000 Denmark in 2015, and the answer turned out to be REMA 1000 Vigo.

REMA 1000 Vigo was launched in October 2016 as a digital platform that facilitates REMA 1000 customers in Denmark ordering and shopping groceries for one another in the local REMA 1000 store.

Through https://shop.rema1000.dk/ and the app REMA 1000 Vigo, customers can order groceries from their local REMA 1000 store. The groceries are then picked, packed, transported, and delivered to the customers address by other customers, registered as Vigo-shoppers in the app. The price for delivery paid by the customer goes directly to the Vigo-shopper.

REMA 1000 Vigo contributes to:

1. Sustain local stores: All the groceries ordered through the platform, are shopped in a local REMA 1000 store and the turnover therefore benefits the local merchant.
2. The groceries are not delivered from a central storage, but directly from a local REMA 1000 store. Therefore, the transport effort is limited and at the same time we notice that 60 percent of the orders are delivered by foot, 30 percent by bike and only 10 percent by car.
3. Involve customers and thereby facilitate strong, local communities: The platform allows customers to shop for one another and deliver a bag of groceries to their next-door neighbor, while they are already in the local REMA 1000 store shopping for themselves.

Narvesen is a beloved brand that has played an important role in Norwegian history and helps customers make good choices on the go

Narvesen has had a significant impact on Norwegians’ lives for over 130 years, with a long history of defending freedom of the press and spreading news to the people. In January 1894, Norwegian businessman and merchant Bertrand Narvesen started selling newspapers and travel literature along the railway, after realising people liked to read on the train. Today, Narvesen is the largest convenience chain in Norway, Latvia and Lithuania, with over 450 stores managed by our incredible merchants.

Northland is based on Scandinavian bakery and bread traditions and offers food on the go – at airports and in the city

Northland is a food and beverage chain specialising in high-quality baguettes and bread products at Norwegian airports. The concept is based on Scandinavian bakery and bread traditions but in a modern context. As we meet travelling customers, shopping at Northland should be quick and easy.

In early 2024, Northland launched its first urban concept at Stortorvet in Oslo. At this location, the chain aims to set a new standard for coffee and food enthusiasts in the heart of Oslo by combining our expertise in convenience with serving. The concept is divided into two sections: a “grab and go” zone and a serving area with seating. Our customers will find a wide selection of bread products, salads, pizza and snacks, and breakfast alternatives like oatmeal and fruit on the menu.

Sweden's most contemporary kiosk, boasting a proud heritage

Pressbyrån is Sweden’s most innovative and accessible kiosk and has been a friend of the Swedish people for more than 100 years. And today, just like back then, we have only one objective: to make everyday life a little bit better for everyone on the go.

We are Sweden’s largest convenience chain with around 300 shops in central locations around the country, at airports, train stations, underground stations, squares, and downtown areas. Our tailored services and assortment of food and drink and everyday needs are made for people on the go – who want to simplify everyday life with a clear conscience. Between point A and point B, there is always a friendly, cheerful, and reliable P.

Our history is intertwined with Sweden’s. We were the first ones to introduce the, at that time, innovative popsicle to Sweden from abroad. Pressbyrån was also the creator of the first domestic flights, a result of our distribution of newspapers throughout the country. We have always worked to promote freedom of the press and freedom of speech, and fought to get the news and printed media out to the Swedish people.

PBX accelerate sustainable innovation to continue to be there for people on the go

PBX is the newest brand in Reitan Convenience Sweden and a result of our sustainability strategy that was established in 2019. With PBX, we aim to define the convenience of tomorrow. PBX is our “living lab”, where the work never stops. PB stands for Pressbyrån and X for innovation and future. Our store is an important tool for testing and experimenting to identify the most long-term and sustainable frameworks for the future of convenience. With the lessons learned in PBX, we hope to transform the rest of our business, aiming to implement everything that works at PBX in all our shops. We believe this is the fastest and most effective way for us as a company to drive change.

With our living lab, we aim to test, challenge, and explore to discover new paths toward sustainable choices. In the PBX store, you'll find a carefully curated selection, tailored to your needs and the limits of our planet.

Caffeine is our popular café concept in the Baltics, where we serve flavourful, organic barista coffee in a cosy atmosphere

Our customers appreciate us, and they purchase millions upon millions of cupsof coffee through our cafes every year. Sustainability is a top priority, so we only serve fully organic coffee across all our over 100 Caffeine cafes in the Baltics.

Here, we serve tasty barista coffee in a pleasant atmosphere. Our service-minded merchants are very knowledgeable and super interested in coffee. We also offer an exciting selection of food and sweet temptations, as well as several varieties of fresh-squeezed juice and smoothies.

The Caffeine concept is also found in Norway and Denmark. No matter where you visit us, at Caffeine, we have a great love and genuine passion for coffee.

Lietuvos Spauda means “Lithuanian Press” and was established in Lithuania in 1944

What was originally a pure newspaper and press distribution network is now also selling food and beverages, coffee, and various electronic services to people on the go. Our kiosks have played a key role in the neighbourhood for decades, and our 48 kiosks, centrally located in eight cities in Lithuania, are still important in our customers' everyday lives.

More Sustainable Mobility

Uno-X Mobility aims to make it easier for customers to choose renewable energy when driving on the roads in Norway and Denmark.

The mission is to develop and promote solutions for sustainable mobility, and the business area offers ultrafast EV charging, liquid fuel, and car wash under the Uno-X brand. The transition to more sustainable mobility is realized, among other things, by establishing a nationwide network for easy and efficient ultrafast charging in Norway and Denmark, with locations tailored for either passenger cars or heavy-duty vehicles. The ambition is to be a leading player in the fast charging market.

At the same time, the business area continues to fulfill the critical societal function of providing liquid fuel to customers who need it for their transportation needs along the road. The total market for liquid fuel is declining, while cars have a long lifespan, and it will take some years before the entire vehicle fleet is replaced.

Ecolabelled car wash is another important initiative. Here, water consumption is reduced by approximately 80 percent, and wastewater is approximately 90 percent better purified of oil and heavy metals compared to a "regular" car wash.

Uno-X Mobility and Reitan Retail's passion for cycling is becoming well-known, and we believe cycling is a prime example of more sustainable mobility. The professional cycling team, Uno-X Mobility, is owned and operated by the business area and is a realization of the passion for cycling, with cyclists being important ambassadors for sustainable mobility. Both the men's and women's teams participate in the Tour de France.

World-class quality and animal welfare

Norsk Kylling is a world leader in animal welfare and produces chicken under the brand names Solvinge and Stange Gårdsprodukter. In 2022, we became the first producer in the world to comply with the requirements of the international animal welfare standard European Chicken Commitment (ECC) across our entire production.

This means that Norsk Kylling uses a slower-growing type of chicken and gives the chickens more space in the barns. In addition, the barns are equipped with specially developed toys and lighting, so that the chickens have better opportunities to exhibit their natural behaviour.

We believe in transparency and collaboration, and understand that our work is about much more than chicken. It is about thinking beyond oneself, about responsible decisions, and about all the dedicated people in the value chain. We collaborate with skilled farmers in Central Norway, who ensure every day that the animal welfare is good and that the chickens are well-cared for. The commitment and expertise of all employees drive innovation and quality, and together we have set a new standard for responsible food production.

Norsk Kylling's vision is to become the world’s best food value chain. In the coming years, we will enhance the good work we do on animal welfare, halve our own carbon emissions, and develop a more climate-friendly chicken feed produced from local raw materials.

Kolly - the good colleague in the middle

Kolly is a nationwide supplier of food, beverages and non-food to large households, KBS and the "out of home" market. Our customers are varied and geographically spread across Norway, including names such as Scandic Hotels, Radisson Hotels, Hurtigruten, 7-Eleven, Narvesen, Nordisk Film, and Burger King, to name a few. We deliver goods from well-known and loved brands and producers, in all categories from meat and fish to dry goods, dairy, drinks, coffee, alcohol and non-food.

Our vision is to create value together - by being the good colleague in the middle who builds a bridge between producer, supplier, driver and customer. We understand the importance of a seamless collaboration to ensure the delivery at the right time, right place and with the right content.

Sustainability and the environment are high priorities for us. We have established three key sustainability pledges that guide our operations:

• Lower greenhouse gas emissions: We work actively to reduce our climate impact through the efficiency of logistics and the choice of environmentally friendly transport solutions.
• Diversity and inclusion: We value and respect the diversity of our employees, partners and the community we serve, and work to create inclusive and equal working environments.
• Transparency and sustainability throughout the value chain: We work actively with our suppliers to ensure that products and services meet strict sustainability standards and that the value chain is transparent and responsible.

The family brewery Grans Bryggeri

Grans Bryggeri was established in Sandefjord in 1899. While most other breweries in other medium-sized Norwegian towns have been bought up, Grans remains in private hands – and is run by the third generation of the same family. In October 2005, REITAN bought into the company, thus securing 50 percent ownership of the brewery. The Gran family owns the remaining 50 percent.

It all started with Guttorm Gran senior: the man who, in the mid-1960s, went straight for the throat of Oslo breweries by dialling back prices and opening factory sales outlets. The result was turnover multiplied many times over. Since then, Grans has continued to challenge its competitors. What was once a small, local brewery has gradually become one of Norway’s most modern production facilities. And the factory outlet has moved onto the shelves of REMA 1000.

Today, Grans bottles beer, soda and mineral water to suit every taste – whether you prefer your soda with or without sugar, Taffel natural, or fruit-infused iced tea. Each bottling run is carefully monitored by the company laboratory, where taste, colour and content are checked before the products are cleared for sale. With these routines in place, customers can rest assured that they will get first-class quality in all our products.

To protect the environment, Grans Bryggeri has offered products with recycled plastic packaging since 2013. A common feature of bestsellers like Tropo, Champ, Cola and Cola X from Grans is that they all use packaging containing 50 percent recycled plastic.

Great Taste with a Clear Conscience

Kolonihagen joined the REMA family in 2016. Since then, we have been REMA 1000's spearhead for organic and more sustainable quality products. We have developed over 150 products exclusively for REMA. All these products are carefully selected so customers can rest assured that this is more than good taste and quality. The products are also produced in harmony with nature in a sustainable and ethical manner.

A strong testament to this is that Kolonihagen's eggs and pork products are the only ones in Norwegian grocery stores to be certified with the Animal Welfare label. This is the stamp that assures the animals' welfare is of the absolute best, allowing them to live a life as closely adapted to their species as possible.

Kjeldsberg – A small coffee house with a big heart

Kjeldsberg is a local coffee house in Trondheim with long-standing traditions and a strong passion for really good coffee. Since 1856, the focus has been on making the best everyday coffee that makes people enjoy the small moments in everyday life and be a bit more present in the moment.

To ensure a first-class taste experience and quality at every stage, Kjeldsberg is involved throughout the entire process – from selecting the best beans to the moment the coffee is packed in the characteristic, yellow bags designed to preserve flavour. The product line includes both filter-ground, coffee capsules, French press, coarse-ground coffee, instant coffee and whole beans.

Kjeldsberg makes coffee with respect for tomorrow, people, and nature. Therefore, all Kjeldsberg coffee is certified by the Rainforest Alliance or Fairtrade, and you will also find double-certified organic Fairtrade coffee in the assortment. This includes ensuring the coffee is fairly produced, that the workers receive the payment they deserve, and that coffee production has minimal impact on the environment. These factors contribute to creating a safer everyday life for the coffee farmer and assurance for the customers.

The company is currently owned 50% by REMA Industries and 50% by Kjeldsberg Invest. The yellow products are available in both large and small institutional businesses, all kiosks in Reitan Convenience, and last but not least, in REMA 1000 stores throughout the country.

Our goal is to be the best in taste, quality, and craftsmanship – and thus be the best everyday coffee for people who want to enjoy really good and responsible coffee.

Tasty chicken that customers can eat with a good conscience

Solvinge is produced by Norsk Kylling, which in 2022 became the first producer in the world to comply with the requirements of the international animal welfare standard, the European Chicken Commitment (ECC). This means that customers can purchase the Solvinge brand with the assurance that animal welfare is well safeguarded.

To a great extent, animal welfare is about how slowly the chicken grows. The chicken breed that Solvinge uses in its production grows slower, and lives longer than regular chickens. In addition, all Solvinge farmers have upgraded the environment in the henhouses, including adding bales of hay and stands the chickens can climb on. This is particularly important for the Solvinge chicken, which is an extremely active and healthy chicken breed. This is good news both for animal welfare and taste.

Products from Solvinge are only available at REMA 1000, and include items such as chicken cold cuts, minced chicken, chicken fillets, grilled products, chicken wings, chicken thighs, salad-ready meat and whole chickens.

Craftsmanship and quality for the Norwegian people since 1989

Good taste is no coincidence. It is, in fact, the animals' living conditions, under more sustainable circumstances, that ultimately create a fantastic raw material and a satisfied customer.

Stange Gårdsprodukter started as a small chicken producer outside Tønsberg. In the beginning, only selected restaurants and star chefs in Oslo were able to buy the juicy country chicken. Increased demand led to the small producer becoming an exclusive partner for REMA 1000.

Today, the Stange Gårdsprodukter range consists of; country chicken, duck, turkey, lamb, sauces, cold cuts, sausages, and eggs. Not only that, but Stange Gårdsprodukter simply loves to develop "straight in the oven" products that make anyone feel like a star chef. Since day one, the goal has been to produce raw materials of the highest class. A farm product from Stange Gårdsprodukter should always be pure, safe, and honest, and of the best quality. This is a result of the long-term philosophy of caring for animals and nature. Nothing is left to chance at Stange Gårdsprodukter, and we naturally use a chicken breed that is healthy and more slow-growing. They have handpicked farms with completely new operating buildings and equipment for an optimal growth environment.

The chickens receive environmental enrichments in the form of perches and straw bales so that they get a varied substrate, and thus also the opportunity to develop their muscles better. What is unique to Stange Gårdsprodukter chickens is that they have access to natural daylight in their own winter gardens. There they can roam freely in a controlled varied environment, all year round.

It's not just the breed and space that are important for a good product. One of the secrets to the good taste also lies in the feed. In collaboration with local feed suppliers, Norway's best chefs, and Norsk Kylling, Stange Gårdsprodukter have developed soy-free special feed consisting of peas, potato, wheat, oats, corn, fava beans, and rapeseed.

Stange Gårdsprodukter uses the animal welfare team, the hatchery, and the slaughterhouse of Norsk Kylling in Trøndelag. Norsk Kylling ensures that Stange Gårdsprodukter's guidelines, and the industry's and authorities' requirements are followed on the farms. All Stange Gårdsprodukter chicken is ECC certified and has received the "Good Chicken Award"."

Artisanal products at reasonable prices

Jan Gyllensten and Ole Venås in 1991. The small enterprise produces cured meats based on local recipes and traditional handcraft methods.

All of Spekeloftet’s products are cured in natural mountain air, based on traditional craftsmanship partnered with good, solid food safety. In contrast to our larger competitors, we cure all our products the old, traditional way. The product is hung in the curing loft where fresh mountain air is pulled in to take care of the curing job. This is why we can say "Natural mountain-dried cured meat", "the air cures and the air seasons", as well as "The meat is ready when the weather says so".

Curing has been the most frequently used method for preserving meat over thousands of years. Since the very beginning, Spekeloftet has kept this old tradition alive. Its location in the mountains dividing east from west creates perfect conditions for curing meat. You can feel it in the taste, and see it in the success.

REMA Industrier AS took over Gyllensten’s ownership interest in the company in 2010. This opened up a regular spot for Spekeloftet in the refrigerated section in all REMA 1000 shops.

Spekeloftet works continuously to develop tasty new products. Nationwide, we are the supplier with the greatest diversity within the traditional Norwegian rack of lamb ribs, and produces many different varieties within the cured meat product segment. Cured leg of mutton, cured sausages and different varieties of smoke-cured ham can also be found in our product line.

Spekeloftet’s pledge to its customers is safety, quality and taste, and the promise that customers can rest assured that they will get the very best products when they buy something from Spekeloftet.
