The first part of the expansion to open its doors to the public will be Matvärlden, a store with food from all over the world in late 2024.

“We are delighted with the project’s kick-off. The investment means a lot for both Huddinge Municipality and our residents. Our municipality has ambitious plans for the entire Kungens Kurva area, including the commercial area, and partnering with Ingka Centres plays a crucial role in bringing that to life”, says Emil Högberg (S), municipal councilor.

The first phase is planned to be inaugurated in late 2024 and includes 7,000 square meters of new retail space with a focus on food, beauty, fashion. This expansion will feature a new store from Matvärlden, a grocery chain offering food from across the globe as well as its own bakery and restaurant. In addition, a public food hall is planned to take over 2,000 square meters.

During other stages the area will be expanded by 21,000 square meters to the north and west,  including integration with the IKEA store. This will result in a new shared entrance and a wider selection of – among others – restaurants and services.

“It feels fantastic to finally be underway! With this expansion, we are shaping the meeting place of the future. The way we shop and our expectations have evolved, especially during the pandemic, and it is our mission to meet those demands. We see incredible potential for Kungens Kurva as a front-runner in delivering food experiences, family activities, and traditional shopping for fashion, interior design, and much more", says Yvonne Arentoft, Meeting Place Manager at Kungens Kurva Shoppingcenter.

Kungens Kurva is one of the busiest retail areas in the Nordics with approximately 20 million visitors a year.
