About Hagkaup

Hagkaup is the older and broader of Hagar's two Icelandic grocery formats, founded in 1959 and run as a department store that sells clothing, homeware and toys alongside food. Several of its shops stay open around the clock, which in a country of 400,000 people makes them a piece of national infrastructure. Hagar describes it as synonymous with quality, variety and convenience.
