Steen & Strøm continues to develop both the customer experience and the retail mix and we are very pleased to welcome Ark to Oslo City. Ark represents a concept that has been requested by Oslo City's visitors.

“We are very pleased with the opening of the new SSHOP and the positive response we have received. Ark has long considered establishing a shop in Oslo City, and we believe that it is strategically an important center for ARK.The shop is initially 90 sqm. This meant we had to work a little extra to find the optimal product mix for this size of dhop, and we also knew from experience that Oslo City’s city center location is an important click & collect point for our customers”, says Christian Aksnes, Establishment Manager at ARK Bokhandel.

ARK aims to be the favorite bookstore for those who love books. With 156 bookshops across the country, the online store ARK.NO and the reading app ARK, ARK aims to be the most accessible way to buy books.

“We strive to be the most innovative bookshop chain and will make it easier for you to search for, find and buy books in our shops, online and on mobile phones.We will have the best quality of service, the fastest delivery of products directly to your home and we always do our utmost to give you the best prices on books and other exciting products online and in ourbookshops across the country,” says Aksnes.

“If we can inspire our over 11 million visitors annually to read more by expanding the retail mix, we are happy to do so. We are delighted to welcome ARK Bokhandel, which has opened a beautiful shop on the ground floor. I am pleased to see that ARK is adapting their book shop for people on the go - an important factor in Oslo City”, says Elisabeth Lohk, Center Manager in Oslo City.
