Storm kitchens and water bottles run out when people prepare

- The storm kitchen was completely finished when I arrived this morning, says Fanny Back who works at XXL in Jönköping.

But now we have refills.

The sports shop chain has increased sales of storm kitchens by 1,100 percent, freeze-dried food by 500 percent, sleeping bags by 300 percent and headlamps by 250 percent.

Empty shelves

At Biltema in Jönköping, several shelves are empty.

During the weekend, sales of emergency radios in the store chain's stores around the country increased by 1,000 percent.

- There are only a few left now and the water bottles are completely finished.

We are waiting for refills right now, says Åsa Löfgren, store manager.

Sales of water cans have increased by 600 percent, petrol cans and storm kitchens have increased by 500 percent.

She believes that the unrest over the war in Ukraine is the reason.

- I have packed online orders now.

There are a lot of radios, t-reds and batteries, says Åsa Löfgren.

And many ask if we have the necessity package.
