Kalaallit Nunaanni Brugseni (KNB) is much more than a supermarket chain – it is a member-owned organization that has been a steady part of everyday life in Greenland since 1963. With 17 stores across eight towns and more than 31,500 active members, Brugseni is today a central pillar in both the urban landscape and local communities.
As a 100% Greenlandic-owned cooperative, KNB is built on democratic values and strong local roots. Member-elected representatives in BIS (Brugsenip Ilaasortaasa Sinniisai) serve as a link between customers, members, and the organization – ensuring that local needs are translated into action.
The product range and services reflect Greenlandic culture and daily life. KNB maintains a strategic partnership with Coop Denmark, ensuring access to a wide assortment of goods, while maintaining a continuous focus on Greenlandic products and local suppliers. In 2024 alone, more than DKK 23 million was paid back to members through the Divi Plussi membership program.
With more than 600 employees, Brugseni is also one of Greenland’s largest employers. Through targeted continuing education and leadership development, along with a culture characterized by trust and well-being, the company has achieved Great Place to Work certification six times.
In an industry marked by high logistics costs and climatic challenges, KNB works strategically with supply security and sustainability. The stores function as community hubs and contribute to local growth, public health, and social engagement.
Looking ahead, Brugseni has ambitious plans: increased digitalization, more local products, new store concepts, and strengthened corporate social responsibility. All with one goal: to be the best possible grocery partner for the people of Greenland – now and in the future.
