Yep - first store in Hyllinge in 1993. I don't see anywhere it explains why it's called City Gross (Hyllinge is certainly not a city from what I remember).
Beyond Hyllinge, nowhere else around that part of Skane is really as close to being a "city" unless going "all the way" to Helsingborg and considering that the "city".

For some living out in the boonies, even a small town can be the "city" -- especially if it gets or got an ICA Maxi and a Max fast food joint. Back then I am pretty sure it didn't have either, but nowadays it has both.
