The Swedish discount retailer Dollarstore, which Finnish variety discount retailer Tokmanni Group acquired last year, has entered into agreements on opening 12 new and relocating three Dollarstore stores in Sweden during 2024-2025. With these store openings, Dollarstore’s store network in Sweden will grow to over 140 stores. Please note, that the store opening schedules mentioned below are in accordance with the current information and may be subject to change.

According to these agreements, Dollarstore will open three new stores in Sweden this year. These stores will open their doors for the first time in Karlstad on 20 September and in the Strömpilen shopping area in Umeå and in Burlöv municipality in the end of November.

In addition, Dollarstore aims to grow its store network by opening nine new stores during 2025. These stores are planned to be opened in Lund, the Hälla shopping area in Västerås, Kiruna, the Väla shopping centre in Helsingborg, Östhammar, Båstad, Karlshamn, Stenungsund, and the Sisjön shopping centre in Gothenburg (Göteborg).

The opening schedules of these new Dollarstore stores, with the exception of the store to be opened in Karlstad, will become more precise later. At least nine of these new stores will have a planned size of approximately 2.600 to 4.450 square metres in total, and the size of the store premises in the other locations will be confirmed later.

In addition to growing its store network, Dollarstore has decided to relocate three of its Dollarstore stores. In Landskrona, a new store is expected to replace the current one in early 2025. In Bro, a better store is scheduled to open its doors for the first time in Autumn of 2025. In the Backaplan shopping area in Gothenburg (Göteborg), Dollarstore will relocate its store to new store premises closer to the end of 2025.

Dollarstore currently has 131 Dollarstore stores in Sweden and five Big Dollar stores in Denmark. In addition to new store openings in Sweden, Dollarstore has entered into agreements on opening eight new Big Dollar stores in Denmark. Two of these new Big Dollar stores are planned to be opened this year and six next year. A press release with more information about these upcoming Big Dollar stores was published by Tokmanni Group in July.

“It’s really great that we can expand at the pace we’re doing! We see it as proof that customers like us and what we do, and that the need for our assortment and pricing is still big. With our 12 new stores and three relocations to come, we will be even more accessible to even more customers, something we are very happy about,” says Fredrik Holmström, Head of Expansion at Dollarstore.

Dollarstore will post more information about these upcoming stores closer to their opening ceremonies.

Surprise buckets, which have been extremely popular among Tokmanni’s customers, have made their way from Finland to Sweden and Denmark. For decades, these famous buckets have been filled with various product gifts and given to the first customers on the opening day of a new Tokmanni store.

Dollarstore focus on offering an exciting and unexpected and joyful shopping experience as well as takes great pride in being able to exceed customer expectations in terms of product range and low prices.
