Coop gives an update on their homepage. It does not sound especially optimistic. They write that shopping online is open, and that stores in a few specific regions are open, and that they "hope to open more stores as soon as possible".

(Swedish:https://www.coop.se/Globala-sidor/stangda-butiker/)

It is hard to imagine what this means for their supply chain and groceries currently in warehouses and on order. If they cannot open at least on Monday, what will happen? Will their compatitors be able to swallow the demand? The need of groceries will stay they same. The size of this problem is not to underestimate. Coop has approximately 20% market share in Sweden.

At one place the main competitor sourced stock from the Coop store due to sudden extra demand. (source swedish: https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/ica-handlare-i-lysekil-hamt... )
