- Visit during the morning hours (09:00–12:00) for the freshest selection of baked goods and local produce, and to experience the shop at its quietest and most unhurried.
- Arrive with time to spare and enjoy ice cream or coffee at the café corner while taking in the panoramic views across Svendborg Sound—this is as much about the experience as the shopping.
- Ask staff for recommendations on local specialties and artisanal products; their knowledge of regional producers and community connections adds genuine value to your visit.
- Plan ahead if visiting around the winter holidays, as the shop closes only five days per year but may experience higher foot traffic during peak season.
- Bring cash or be prepared for card payment; as a small community enterprise, payment options may be more limited than larger retailers.

Discover more about Storms Hjørne
A Village Institution Built on Community Spirit
Storms Hjørne opened its doors in 2016 as a volunteer-run cooperative enterprise, transforming a space in Troense into something far more than a conventional shop. Managed entirely by dedicated volunteers, the store embodies the collaborative spirit of rural Danish life, where community members take active ownership of local services. This grassroots approach has created a distinctive atmosphere—one where customers feel welcomed not as transactions but as neighbors. The shop's commitment to remaining open nearly every day of the year (closing only on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Eve, and New Year's Day) reflects its role as a reliable anchor for the village.Where Practical Meets Picturesque
Located at Slotsalleen 2B in Svendborg, the store occupies a prime position overlooking Svendborg Sound. Its three large windows frame some of the most beautiful views in the area, offering customers a visual reward while they browse. The interior thoughtfully combines everyday essentials with curated specialty items—fresh local produce sits alongside artisanal goods, gift items, and homemade baked items. An ice cream counter and café corner provide informal seating, making it easy to linger over a coffee or treat while gazing out at the water. This blend of functionality and charm transforms a simple shopping errand into a pleasant experience.A Curated Selection for Every Need
The shop's inventory reflects both practical necessity and local pride. Visitors will find groceries and household supplies, but also specialty foods, locally sourced items, fresh baked goods, and gift articles that showcase regional craftsmanship. The ice cream counter and café facilities add another dimension, allowing customers to pause and enjoy refreshments in a relaxed setting. This diversity means the store serves multiple purposes—quick provisioning, gift hunting, and casual social gathering—all under one roof.Welcoming Atmosphere and Reliable Hours
The store operates on a consistent schedule, opening daily from 09:00 to 12:00 and again from 15:00 to 18:00, making it accessible for both morning and evening visits. This rhythm reflects the rhythms of village life, with a midday break that allows staff and volunteers to manage other responsibilities. The friendly, unhurried service and genuine interest in customers create an environment where shopping feels personal rather than transactional. Visitors frequently comment on the warmth of the welcome and the quality of advice offered, particularly regarding local products and recommendations.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
