Majken's Room at the Grand Samarkand will change hands on October 1, 2023.
For 20 years, Erika Johansson has owned and operated stores in Växjö, the last 6 of which under the name Majkens Rum. Since then, the company has experienced strong organic growth, and the store receives excellent reviews from its customers, who are both numerous and loyal. The value for customers lies largely in the peace of mind that comes from knowing what to expect at Majkens Rum—a pleasant experience with helpful and attentive service.
With 20 years of experience in the lifestyle retail industry, Erika now feels ready to hand over Majkens Rum and is looking forward to what the future holds. L.E.S. Factory will continue to operate the store under the name Majkens Rum until spring, after which the name will change and the concept will take on a new look.
“These are exciting times, and above all, I see a bright future for Majkens Rum, with new energy and dedicated people who want the best for the company and its staff!” says Erika. Erika will remain with the organization for some time to come to work with the new owners to ensure that all the experience and knowledge within the industry is put to good use. Majkens Rum at Signes Trädgård in Norremark will close at the end of the year.
L.E.S. Factory is a Växjö-based company that, together with the investment firm Visive, has now decided to make a new investment in Grand Samarkand. Visive primarily invests in local companies to promote entrepreneurship and contribute to further growth in the region.
Annie Platzer, CEO of Visive, comments on the acquisition:
“Erika has done a fantastic job with the store and the company. Initially, the focus will be on drawing on her experience and relationships with suppliers, taking care of the staff, and ensuring that customers continue to receive the service they’ve come to expect. No major changes are planned at this time. In the spring, we’ll revamp the concept and change the name to L.E.S. Factory.”
We’d like to thank Erika for everything, wish her the best of luck with her new challenges, and extend a warm welcome to the team from L.E.S. Factory.
