Sartor Storsenter

Sartor Storsenter is a shopping centre located in the Straume centre on the island of Litlesotra in Øygarden municipality, Vestland county, in western Norway. Straume lies west of the city of Bergen. The centre opened on 16 November 1978 as Sartor Senter, was expanded in 2004 and 2014, and today houses around 115 stores. The name Sartor derives from an older Danish transcription of the name of the island Sotra; that spelling is no longer in general use, surviving mainly in a few company names such as Sartor Holding AS and Sartor Maskin, as well as Sartor Skytterlag. The centre is part of the Thon Senter portfolio and has been rebranded as Thon Senter Sartor. Its official site lists 124 stores across three floors, including New Yorker, Jula, Barnas Hus, Skousen, Harddisk, Bergen GoKartsenter, Cutters, Cubus, Kid Interiør, Decades, Baker Brun, Salong Mon Ami, Synsvern Sotra Øyeklinikk, Egon and Vinmonopolet. Practical services include parking, a customer club and free WiFi. The centre also hosts community facilities such as a library on the third floor and Øygarden innbyggjartorg, and runs events including a local market in the Gågata, babysong sessions and a 12-rett competition for seventh-graders organised with Radio Sotra. Sartor Storsenter serves as a regional shopping and community hub for the Sotra and Øygarden area west of Bergen. It offers a mix of fashion, home, food, health and leisure retail alongside public and cultural services. The centre is undergoing development, with new construction projects including a new southern entrance near Bunnpris, and it promotes gift cards usable across thousands of stores in more than 80 shopping centres and 70 Thon Hotels.

Sartor Senter opened on 16 November 1978 in Straume, on the island of Litlesotra in what was then Hordaland county (now Vestland), western Norway. Straume lies west of Bergen and serves as a commercial centre for the Sotra and Øygarden area. The name Sartor comes from an older Danish transcription of the island name Sotra; that spelling is no longer in general use, surviving mainly in a few company names such as Sartor Holding AS and Sartor Maskin, as well as Sartor Skytterlag. The centre was expanded in 2004 and again in 2014, growing to around 115 stores. Over time it became part of the Thon Senter portfolio, and it has since been rebranded as Thon Senter Sartor. The official site lists 124 stores across three floors, with tenants including New Yorker, Jula, Barnas Hus, Skousen, Harddisk, Bergen GoKartsenter, Cutters, Cubus, Kid Interiør, Decades, Baker Brun, Salong Mon Ami, Synsvern Sotra Øyeklinikk, Egon and Vinmonopolet. Community facilities include a library on the third floor and Øygarden innbyggjartorg, and the centre hosts events such as a local market in the Gågata, babysong sessions and a 12-rett competition for seventh-graders with Radio Sotra. New construction projects, including a new southern entrance near Bunnpris, are bringing further changes to the centre.
