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.

There are 19 active businesses in the category “Restaurant” in Sala - 13.9 per 10,000 residents.

That is about the same as similar-sized areas (median 15.8 per 10,000). With the typical density you would expect about 22.

In the last 3 years 4 opened. Not available yet: closures are only known from 4 October 2026.

How cafés, bars and fast food are counted in Sweden

In the Swedish industry codes (SNI 2025), cafés, pastry shops, pubs, pizzerias, takeaways and restaurants share one code (56.110); only bars that serve drinks alone (56.300) and mobile food stands (56.120) have their own. Businesses with the restaurant code are counted as a café or bar, or as fast food, when their name says so – café, konditori, pub, bar, pizzeria, kebab, burger, takeaway and the like – and the rest as restaurants. The split is therefore approximate.

Compared with Sweden

Restaurant in Sala against all of Sweden. Annual-report figures are for 2025 (Sala kommun), from 7 companies. Survival can't be calculated for Sweden yet: Statistics Sweden's Business Register keeps only some of the older closures, so closures are counted from 4 October 2026, when we started collecting.
