NorgesGruppen (Norwegian Group), the largest food retailer in Norway, operates more than 3,100 supermarkets, convenience stores, newsstands, and restaurants. Founded in 1995, the group is made up of independent retailers, but it also owns some of the chains.

NorgesGruppen feeds patrons at over 300 of its restaurants, which include names like Dolly Dimples, Bon Appetit, Phileas Fogg, and Pizza-Ekspressen. Food wholesaler Joh.
