The Pelikan branch on Folkungagatan

ICA Supermarket Pelikan is a branch of ICA sitting on Folkungagatan in SoFo, with Medborgarplatsen station serving the neighbourhood. What you notice walking in is the arrangement: shelves fronted neatly, chips lined up along the edge, and a neon sign adding light to the room.

The cheese counter is where to start. It is a proper counter rather than a wrapped shelf, and browsing it is the reason to come in rather than pass by. The plant-based range is the other draw: refrigerated and frozen goods are gathered next to each other instead of scattered through the aisles, so you can compare them without doubling back.

Beyond those, the store runs as a full supermarket. Produce and the grab-and-go area are kept tidy, and the shelves stay well stocked, which makes it a workable stop for a whole basket rather than a single item. The layout is orderly enough that you find things without hunting.

Prices sit on the high side for the neighbourhood. Shop the offers; the cheese counter and the plant-based section are the parts worth your time and money.

It is a neighbourhood supermarket first, and it works best as one: a place to pick up a basket on Folkungagatan, browse the cheese, and get out before the 10 pm close.

What to look for

Cheese counter

A counter worth browsing on a visit, with the selection as the reason to stop in rather than pass by.

Plant-based range

The pick list

What to bring home

  1. Cheese counter

    The cheese selection is the part of the shop worth lingering over on a visit.

  2. Plant-based range

    Refrigerated plant-based goods sit together in one place, so they are easy to find and compare.

Who is this for

This suits a traveler staying in SoFo who wants a full basket late in the evening, since the doors stay open until 10 pm every night. It also suits anyone building a plant-based meal, because the refrigerated and frozen options sit together in one section. And if you like browsing a cheese counter before deciding, that is the part of the shop to give your time to.

If you want produce, Swedish breads and cheeses or ready-made dishes from a smaller oak-shelved shop rather than a full supermarket basket, Rot on Renstiernas gata is a short walk away in SoFo.

The verdict

Prices run high, so this is a convenient neighbourhood branch rather than a destination shop, though it still suits anyone staying in SoFo who needs a full basket before 10 pm.
