Over the past few years, Sweden has experienced a decline in the number of stores, and this development is expected to accelerate due to the current economic situation. This affects both small and large retailers who are struggling with increased costs and reduced consumer purchasing power. In this context, Storekey emerges as the solution to help retail survive and adapt to new challenges. By offering a hybrid store platform that combines manned and unmanned solutions, stores can stay open longer and reduce their costs.
According to statistics from Handelsfakta, Sweden had a total of 31,520 stores at the end of 2021, which represents a decrease of nearly 2,600 stores in four years. Retail has been one of the most bankruptcy-affected parts of the economy over the past year, and many retailers are struggling to meet the increased costs of goods purchases, rent, electricity, and wages. In these challenging times, the hybrid store solution offered by Storekey can play a significant role in ensuring the survival and growth of Swedish retail.
