Kicki Timander runs a fabric shop with her sister on the street called Ströget in the middle of what can still be considered the center of Kiruna.

So far, they have not taken up any offers for new premises in new Kiruna.

Must move soon

At the same time, it cannot stay forever at its old address.

Kiruna's city center will be relentlessly dismantled.

- We know about that.

We'll see how long we can stay.

It is not clear, she says.

Didn't get the same offer

For Yun, who runs a Chinese restaurant in Kupolienhuset, it was not a personal choice to stay.

He has a so-called demolition contract without possession rights and does not receive the same offer from LKAB as other business owners.

- Right now it looks like there is no possibility of getting a venue, at least next year.

Uncertain waiting

Gudrun Hörnell also has to wait for her move, but hopefully only until December when her premises in new Kiruna will be ready.

- Uncertainty is the worst thing there is, but it will surely be good.

Linus Niva is head at LKAB for social transformation in Kiruna.

- We are very happy for those who have chosen to move with us and who believe in the new Kiruna.

But we respect the decision of those who have chosen not to follow.
