Lower sales for specialized stores
While retail sales in Norway are significantly higher overall, many
specialized stores have seen their turnover decline or flatten. Specialized
shops selling tobacco and coffee and tea saw noticeably lower sales in the
first four months of the year compared to last year. Their turnover declined
nine and five per cent, respectively. Sales of fruits and vegetables in
specialized stores fell four per cent. The turnover of other business areas
grew by up to 15 per cent during the same period.
