Brugsen is a shorthand for the Danish word 'Brugsforeningen', which means consumers' cooperative. It is also the name of a Danish supermarket chain which was born as a consumers' cooperative. The Brugsen supermarket chain has been split into three lines: SuperBrugsen, Dagli'Brugsen, and LokalBrugsen.
Brugsen was operated by The Danish Consumers Co-operative Society (FDB), before being folded into Coop Norden as part of Coop Denmark. Coop Denmark is owned by Coop Norden.
