Trade in the town of Varberg is on the increase and we have great potential to solve our customers’ everyday practical problems here. We have a strong team in place who, after intense preparations, is really looking forward to welcoming customers to the store," says Fredrik Uhrbom, Country Manager Sweden at Clas Ohlson.
