Swedish figures: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the workplaces that closed before 4 October 2026, when we started collecting, so closures are counted from then. Until there are three years of history, growth over time looks higher than it really is.

Deeper numbers

Survival, trouble signs, competition and people in Bjärred.

Survival

Competition

Run by chains (3+ places)2% · Sweden: 6%
Share of the 3 largest operators0% · 1,146 owners

No company runs more than one place of business here, an independent market.

Moving in and out

Moved away (3 years)0 · 12 months: 0
Net0

A move is a place of business closing and the same company opening one in another area within 90 days. Chains are left out. A business that moves and keeps its place-of-business number isn't counted here yet, so the real number of moves is higher.
