Bilka hypermarket

Bilka is a Danish chain of hypermarkets founded in 1970 by Herman Salling, the founder of Salling Group. The name 'Bilka' is derived from the German 'Billiges Kaufhaus,' meaning 'low-price department store,' reflecting its focus on affordable retail. The first Bilka store opened in Tilst, a suburb of Aarhus, and was the largest store in Denmark at that time, offering a vast selection of products under one roof. Over the years, Bilka has expanded its presence across Denmark, becoming a significant player in the Danish retail market. As part of Salling Group, Bilka operates alongside other retail chains such as Netto and Føtex, contributing to the group's diverse retail portfolio. Salling Group, headquartered in Brabrand, Denmark, is known for its commitment to providing a wide range of products and services to meet the needs of Danish consumers.
