About Kolonihagen
Kolonihagen is REMA 1000 Norway's organic own-brand range. Reitan Retail says it offers organic products exclusively and describes it as the way a discounter expands the market for more nature-friendly food rather than merely stocking it, a claim the group reports against alongside its Danish partnership with the organic farm Gram Slot.

About the owner: Reitan Retail
Reitan Retail is a privately held company headquartered in Oslo, Norway, founded in 2021. Brandtree records 11 brands under its control.
Reitan Retail is the retail arm of the Norwegian family company REITAN, established at the start of 2021 when REITAN put all its retail operations into one business area. It is wholly owned by REITAN AS, which the Reitan family holds through three holding companies, and it runs discount grocery, convenience and mobility businesses in seven countries. Almost everything is franchised: its own accounts conclude that the franchisee, not the group, controls each store, so franchisee sales never appear as revenue. Revenue in 2025 was NOK 111.7 billion across 3,409 sales outlets.
