The Maxi has the prime location there. The City Gross was just hiding on the other end and most people just didn’t notice it at all. I only saw it when I needed to pick up some stuff from Jula which Bauhaus didn’t have.
I think Hyllinge is pretty well located to both attract Helsingborg and surroundings but also people like me which live but further away but to far from the next major place like Kristianstad or Halmstad.
and by the way…. I hate coop even more then city gross… given the coop in Väla isn’t that bad but still a coop.
I never got a chance to play up the Coop-to-SAS points transfer games while the gaming may have been good, so that draw has passed for me.
Clustering for gas stations is quite common in the US, but grocery stores seem to do that kind of thing a lot in Sweden -- especially when convenient for those living in "car country". Even Hyllie now has a City Gross + ICA + Willys within five minute walk of the Hyllie train station. Didn't realize that the Hyllinge City Gross had closed permanently there, but I can see why.
If it weren't for Coops at Stockholm and Malmo train stations, I would probably even more rarely enter any of them.
The Coop most convenient for Malmo FF home matches was depressing the last time I ended up going inside it.
And even the ones next to Systembolaget -- say like the one in Are -- don't manage to draw me in any better than IKEA. City Gross also barely ever sees me. I think the City Gross in Vaxjo or in Kalmar scared me away a long time ago, but the one in Rosengard was a draw.
