There was great interest when Clas Ohlson's new store in Falkenberg in Sweden opened at 10 am today. The new store is Clas Ohlson's first in the city.
"We know that we have been eagerly awaited, and it’s great that the new store is finally open. Now, it will be more convenient for people in Falkenberg to find what they need for their home fixing," says Andreas Helgesson, Country Operations Manager.
The new store is located in the centre of Falkenberg in Stortorget shopping mall, which was recently rebuilt for Clas Ohlson's establishment. In connection with the mall, a completely new neighbourhood with 123 new apartments has also recently been built.
The 1,146 square meter store contains the entire Clas Ohlson range, including lighting, tools, cleaning and storage products, and products for the connected home.
"We know that many Falkenberg residents have missed the opportunity to buy many of these products locally. Falkenberg is also part of a strong tourist region where our wide and affordable range will meet a great need," says Andreas Helgesson.
The store opening marks Clas Ohlson's fourth opening so far in 2024. One of the earlier openings this year also took place in the same county, when Clas Ohlson's new store in Hallarna in Halmstad opened. In total, another twelve store openings in Sweden, Norway, and Finland are planned for 2024.
