Elkjøp, better known as Elgiganten outside Norway, is the largest consumer electronics retailer in the Nordic Countries with four hundred stores in six countries and 10,000 employees.[1] Elkjøp was founded by Trygve Fjetland on 16 March 1962.[2] It was purchased in November 1999 by Currys plc.[3] Elkjøp owned stores for a time in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.[4]

The coined name Elkjøp translates from Norwegian as El purchase, where El is understood as shorthand for elektrisk (“electric”) or elektronisk (“electronic”). The company operated as an independent company with its own management and leadership. It merged with Elkjøp on 15 January 2018.[5]
