Health and Wellness Stores in Namsos: An Analysis of Companies, Statistics, and Outlooks

The health and wellness store industry in Namsos is a small but stable sector with a single actor: Life Namsos. This AS company, established in 1998 and employing 6 people, is the only company in the sector registered in the municipality. Although sales increased from 2022 to 2024 (from 4.3M to 7.0M NOK), there was a significant decline in 2025 (to 4.6M NOK). This indicates some volatility in the sector, but also potential for growth if market conditions stabilize.

Sales and employees in the health and wellness store sector

Sales increased strongly from 2022 to 2024 (+39.3% from 2022 to 2023 and +16.1% from 2023 to 2024), but fell by 33.6% in 2025. The number of employees followed a similar trend: an increase until 2024, followed by a 50% decline in 2025. This may indicate a temporary challenge in 2025, possibly related to economic or logistical factors.

Actors in the sector

There is only one company in the health and wellness store sector registered in Namsos: Life Namsos (Verftsgata 4). The company is an AS with the following key figures:

• Establishment year: 1998
• Number of employees: 6
• Bankruptcy status: Not bankrupt
• Postal code: 7800
• County: Trøndelag
• EBITDA: Not reported
• Sales: Not reported

There are no other companies in the sector in the municipality, which shows that the market is highly fragmented and lacks competitiveness. This can be both an opportunity and a challenge for new entrants.

Geographic distribution of activity

All businesses in the health and wellness store sector in Namsos are located in the Namsos area. No activity is reported from other city districts or municipalities. This indicates that the market is strongly concentrated in the municipality's center, which can be both an advantage (concentration of customers) and a limitation (lack of development in other areas).

There is no bankruptcy reported for companies in the health and wellness store sector in Namsos. This shows some stabilization in the sector, even though sales and number of employees have been volatile. No other companies in the sector are registered, so it is not possible to compare operational results or bankruptcy risks between actors. This can be an advantage for existing companies, but also a challenge for new entrants who must bear the risk alone.

For entrepreneurs considering establishing themselves in the health and wellness store sector in Namsos, the data show both opportunities and challenges. The sector is small but stable, with a single actor that has been in operation since 1998. This may indicate an established market with good customer awareness, but also a potential limitation in competitiveness. The sales peaks in 2024 (7.0M NOK) show that there is potential for growth, but the decline in 2025 must be analyzed more closely. Entrepreneurs should consider establishing themselves in the Namsos city center, where the market is concentrated, and at the same time be prepared to compete with an existing actor that has long experience.

Comparison with the broader service sector

The health and wellness store sector is a small part of the broader service sector in Namsos, which has 44 companies and total sales of 362.8M NOK in 2025. The service sector has a more stable development, with a decline of 16.9% from 2023 to 2024, but an increase of 17.7% in 2025. This shows that the service sector has a more stable operation than the health and wellness store sector, which had a strong decline in 2025. Nevertheless, the health and wellness store sector may have a higher EBITDA margin than many of its peer companies in the service sector, which can be an advantage for new entrants seeking to establish themselves in a niche market.
