In the heart of Kiruna’s new city center, where modern buildings rise to the sky, lies an ancient treasure that has survived both the test of time and a historic urban transformation. Centrum JW Lindgren, Kiruna’s classic clothing store, will turn 100 years old in 2025. Today, the shop is run by Johanna Lindgren Ringholt, a fourth-generation trader, who took over from her father Janne.
