Tokmanni Group is a variety discount retailer in the Nordics. The group has stores in Finland, Sweden and Denmark under the brand names Tokmanni, Dollarstore, Big Dollar, Click Shoes and Miny. In addition, Tokmanni has online stores. Tokmanni's headquarter and logistics centres are located in Mäntsälä, Finland. Dollarstore is headquartered in Kista, Stockholm with a central warehouse in Örebro. The group own a procurement company located in Shanghai together with a Norwegian discount store chain Europris.

That is indeed what the article says. “Arimo points out that Finnish brands have a good reputation in Sweden. Dollarstore has traditionally operated in a very low price segment.”

Maybe they went for broke? Or was it a “grand idea” from the outgoing CEO? Well, time will tell. Puuilo, however, intends to proceed with its old strategy into Sweden—playing it safe with a few stores to see if the same is possible as in Finland. Perhaps a less ambitious approach at Tokmanni would have been appropriate as well. Profits come slowly, but losses come quickly—that’s how the current operations look from the outside. Of course, this aggressive stance could yield massive profits if successful. I certainly can’t fault Tokmanni for a lack of courage.

Was it the case that Dollarstore was more profitable than Tokmanni before Tokmanni acquired it? And now it’s the other way around.

Yes, buying more surely makes things cheaper. BUT does it make sense to pay that amount just for store locations and employees if the selection, brand, and concept were crap from the start? For the sake of economies of scale? Did anything related to warehouse operations come with it? Apparently not, since the logistics are being revamped. For a long time, I was under the impression that they were buying efficiency, a functioning concept, and something to take Tokmanni Finland’s excellent store network and sh*t-tier online store to the next level, but the case is exactly the opposite. Why didn’t Tokmanni open its own stores in Sweden or buy some “carcass” like Rusta did back in the day with the Hong Kong stores in Finland? Does Tokmanni know that Swedish consumers want to buy Tokmanni’s private labels, even if they have demand in Finland? If they know, then fine, but why an acquisition? If they are just practicing this now and we’ll see soon, then boy, what a gamble.

Doesn’t a large part of Tokmanni’s margins come from Chinese goods? With these volumes, one would think there would be a lot of synergy benefits.

It’s good that they’re trying to pull themselves together, but this decline has been going on for a long time and people have grown tired of DS stores. Competition is fierce, which is likely why DS was sold to Tokmanni, as market share was slipping away to competitors. Ö&B, Rusta, and Normal—those are the core competitors in my opinion. Whether Swedes are interested in a Tokmanni-style store remains to be seen; I personally doubt it, but time will tell.

”We’re bringing our product range there; actually, everything is changing there. Pricing is being revamped, marketing has practically been built up from scratch, the entire logistics chain is changing” – CFO Arimo, quoted in the article above.  Just out of curiosity, why did Tokmanni buy Dollarstore in the first place? Or pay anything for it at all? Was that move really thought through to the end? I don’t remember the original justifications anymore, but then again, investors have short memories.
