As it has already been mentioned, Holstebro is a rather industrial town with a huge production potential, as there are manufacturers coming from a range of industries working in the town because it provides them with all the infrastructure and amenities they need. However, the trade niche is currently on the rise, as well. In 2006, Holstebro won the award for being Denmark’s most beautiful commercial city, and then it has managed to double up the award in 2010. However, while the retail premises are still aplenty, there is a lot of unfilled spots waiting for the new shops to come. If you decide to open a shop in Holstebro, you should know that you will join the business community of no fewer than 450 shops that still cannot handle the massive influx of local customers aided by the thousands of tourists coming to the city annually. The northwestern part of the town is nowadays considered to be Holstebro's commercial centre, as a lot of retail facilities have been opened there recently to provide the customers with an unforgettable shopping experience. The Nørreport Center, located at the very same area, crowns the end of Denmark's most remarkable and beautiful pedestrian zone, which has been voted as such by thousands of customers who have partaken in a corresponding survey. If a mall of 16,000 m² of trade area is being opened in a town with approximately 40,000 citizens, it surely tells something about the trade potential that the municipality holds.
