Clas Ohlson has opened a new store in Tønsberg, Norway, its second store in the city. "We have been a popular destination in Tønsberg ever since we established our first store in the city 23 years ago," says Rune Johansen, Country Operations Manager. The new Clas Ohlson store is located in the newly built Kilen Handelspark, just outside Tønsberg city centre. The first phase of the retail park was opened in June this year, and now the second phase has been completed, including Clas Ohlson's new store, which covers a total of 1,500 m².
The store opening in Tønsberg is Clas Ohlson's third opening in Norway this year, and three more Norwegian stores are set to open this fall. Among them is a new store in Alti Eikunda in Egersund, south of Stavanger, which will be Clas Ohlson's hundredth store in the Norwegian market. This fall, Clas Ohlson will also have a total of one hundred stores in Sweden, as two store openings are planned in September. Clas Ohlson now has a total of 234 stores distributed as follows: 99 stores in Sweden, 97 stores in Norway and 38 locations in Finland.
