The Swedish village of Langflon, near Norway, has four residents, literally just four. Despite this, the village has decided to build a huge shopping mall, or as they call it, a 'mega mall', to serve their needs, reports the website Nana10.
This disproportionate project is not entirely new. A supermarket recently opened in the village, employing 20 workers, or as it could be called, five times the number of workers in the village. The unique supermarket apparently appealed to the villagers, and from there to the decision to build a 'mega mall' was a short journey.
To surprised reporters who came to cover the announcement, the residents [all four] told us that their goal was not just to meet their daily needs, or even to make them feel less isolated. The main goal was to attract shoppers from nearby Norway who would want to come to the small village and enjoy the shopping attraction of the mall located in what is essentially a 'nowhere' location.
""The idea is crazy," says Morten Johansen, one of the mall's founders, "but that's what's special about it. There's no mall in the whole world in such a small place.".
And what do they say in nearby Norway? The residents promise to come and buy, but note that what is mainly missing in their area is a store that sells alcohol.
