In January, Stina Storm was very worried about the city trade in Örebro and feared more bankruptcies in the wake of the corona pandemic.
But now that the restrictions have gradually released, she sees the light in the tunnel.
- I can not breathe out completely yet, but I am a little relieved anyway, says Stina Storm.
Relieved restrictions and more people being vaccinated help city trade in all municipalities, and also in Örebro.
After a difficult year, each stage in the government's lifting of the restrictions will be a relief for the hospitality industry.
- The restrictions have started to ease and we are moving towards the next step in July, so it is very positive, Stina Storm concludes.
Had to hire mom
Lovisa Stenbom, who runs a small clothing store in central Örebro, has had to count every penny to make sure that money is not wasted during the tough times.
Staff have been laid off, money saved has been prepared to save the company and her retired mother has had to step in.
- She has basically worked for free, says store owner Lovisa Stenbom.
