Axfood AB is a Swedish food retail and wholesale company headquartered in Stockholm, operating through five segments: Willys, Hemköp, City Gross, Snabbgross, and Dagab. The company sells groceries through multiple store chains, including Willys, HANDLARN, Hemköp, Eurocash, City Gross, and Tempo, and also runs e-commerce operations alongside private label products.
In addition to grocery retail, Axfood operates Urban Deli, a restaurant-store-market hall concept, as well as Apohem, an online pharmacy. It serves restaurants, fast food operators, cafés, and independent retailer-owned stores through its Snabbgross wholesale arm and Matöppet network. The company was incorporated in 1997 and is a subsidiary of Axretail AB.
As a food retailer in the consumer staples sector, Axfood benefits from demand patterns that are typically non-cyclical, with grocery sales remaining relatively stable across economic cycles. The Swedish grocery market is dominated by a small number of large chains, and Axfoods multi-banner strategy allows it to target different price points and customer segments, from discount (Willys) to premium convenience (Hemköp, Urban Deli).
