25 employees are affected when the Elgiganten in Folkesta is closed, something that Eskilstuna-Kuriren was the first to report.

- This is because that store has not been able to run the profitability we need. Despite the fact that the Elgiganten is large and goes very well and has broken several records, unfortunately the Eskilstuna shop has shown that it is not profitable, which is very boring, says Li Persson, press and communications manager at Elgiganten.

Unprofitable for a couple of years

According to Persson, the home electronics chain is expected to go well overall in the rest of Sörmland and the country, but in Eskilstuna, the store has not been profitable for a couple of years and the situation may have been a reason.

- It is very difficult to speculate on the reasons, but what we think may be a reason is the situation.

Helps the staff

What happens to the staff?

- The staff in the store are obviously informed and we will do everything we can to help them and make it as good as possible for them.
