Clas Ohlson’s 100th store in Norway is now open

Clas Ohlson now has 100 stores in the Norwegian market. The hundredth store opened today in Egersund, south of Stavanger.

"It’s incredibly great to reach the milestone of 100 stores in Norway. We opened our first Norwegian store in 1991, and since then, Norwegians have truly embraced Clas Ohlson," says Rune Johansen, Country Operations Manager.

The store has a sales area of 920 square meters and is located in Alti Eikunda shopping center in the heart of Egersund. When the store opened at 10 a.m. today, many customers were waiting outside the store.

"We know we’ve been eagerly awaited in Egersund for many years. With our new store, we can offer a broad and affordable selection for home fixing. This time of year, we are, of course, focusing extra on everything needed for Christmas," says Rune Johansen.

The store opening is Clas Ohlson’s sixth store opening in Norway during the 2024 calendar year. Earlier this year, new Clas Ohlson stores have opened in Oslo, Drammen, Tønsberg, Tynset, and Fredrikstad.

Clas Ohlson now has 238 stores, with 101 in Sweden, 100 in Norway, and 37 in Finland.
