Clas Ohlson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Clas Ohlson AB is a Swedish chain that sells technical tools, boats, car accessories, electronics, computer accessories and clocks. It is the largest hardware chain in Scandinavia.

It was founded in 1918 by Clas Ohlson (1895–1979) as a mail order business based in Insjön, Dalarna (and was well known as such). It expanded into the retail business only in 1989.[1] It will start opening shops in the UK during 2008/2009 in the London area.
