PUB (Stockholm)

PUB is a major department store in Stockholm, Sweden, located in two buildings at Hötorget. PUB was opened in 1882 and rapidly expanded. The name PUB is for the initials of Paul U. Bergström, the founder of the store, who owned a great deal of buildings and business in the area.

In the late 20th century, the upper 4 storeys of the department store was converted into a hotel: the "Rica Hotel", Kungsgatan.
