Brugseni or Brugsen is a Greenlandic supermarket chain ( Kalaallisut: Kalaallit Nunaanni Brugseni AmbA), which was founded in 1991 as a union of separate cooperatives dating back to 1963. [2]
The earlier cooperatives, but not the present company, were organized under the Coop aegis. It is one of the island's three major retailers along with NorgesGruppen's Pisiffik and the state-owned Pilersuisoq, and claims 30,000 members, [3] more than half of the Greenland population. It operates fifteen stores [4] in seven major towns: Nuuk, Sisimiut, Qaqortoq, Maniitsoq, Paamiut, Narsaq, and Nanortalik. [1] The store in Maniitsoq underwent a modernization in 2014 where - among other things - solar panel modules were fitted on the roof. [5] Stores in Nanortalik and Paamiut were fitted with solar panels in 2015, after the company posted a profit of 26 million DKK in 2014. [6]
Brugseni was a sponsor of the 2016 Arctic Winter Games. [7]
Every year since 2011, Brugseni has given Årets Pris (Award of the Year) and 100,000 DKK to an organization or an individual who makes a positive difference or furthers a cause. [8] The first prize winner was a hospital clown at the children's department at Queen Ingrid's Hospital. [9] In 2012, Kristian Heilmann and Rita Egede [1] from the sports club GSS Nuuk won for their work furthering handball among children and youth. [10] In 2013 the prize was awarded to two companies that both work to promote Greenlandic cuisine and ingredients. The winners were Hotel Arctic and Ipiutaq Guest Farm. [11] In 2014, the school in the village of Niaqornaarsuk won for creating positive role models. [12] In 2015, the two summer camps Naalersitaq in Nuuk, and Qeqqualerisunngorniat Illukumi in Ikerasaarsuk won for "promoting innovative and environmentally friendly initiatives which prioritizes a healthy and sustainable environment for future generations."
