Coop Extends Influencer Mandate with Kingfluencers
Swiss retailer Coop has extended its influencer mandate with Zurich-based agency Kingfluencers, which has promoted Coop’s private-label brands year-round on social media since 2017. The agency combines seasonal activations (e.g., Veganuary, grilling season, raclette) with a continuous creator presence to embed Coop’s own brands into consumers’ daily lives. Kingfluencers says the 2026 annual campaign builds on previous successes and strengthens Coop’s position in the Swiss retail market; no concrete KPIs for the 2025 campaign were disclosed. Kingfluencers is a subsidiary of listed company Naoo (Börse Düsseldorf: NAO) and reports operating a network of over 3,800 influencers across the DACH region, having run more than 3,500 campaigns since its 2016 founding.
Coop Switzerland Megastore Success Concept
A Lebensmittel Zeitung store check (published 2026-08-06 by Manfred Stockburger) profiles Coop Switzerland’s flagship 5,205 sqm megastore at the Grüze/Grüze‑Markt shopping center in Winterthur. The pictorial review shows a large-format concept that anchors the center and—after the 1985 site’s 2021–22 €15.8 million renovation—emphasizes artisanal, on-site food production (bakery, cakes, fish, meat processing), a substantial nearfood assortment (~25%) and sustainability steps such as pre-expiry freezing to cut food waste. The store combines modern service formats (about 35% of sales via self-scanning) with customer retention initiatives (free Mondovino wine loyalty program) and benefits from vertical integration with Bell Food Group. The article notes the megastore’s quality and merchandising approach have positive spillover effects on Coop’s smaller supermarkets and its online business.
