Fredells, Architectural structure in Sickla, Sweden
Fredells was a building-supply warehouse at Sickla Allé 2–4 in Nacka, on a 44,000 m² site. The store opened there in 2000 after the company's Södra Hammarbyhamnen property was expropriated for Hammarby Sjöstad. It remained a Fredell family business until it was sold to Bauhaus on 1 February 2019, when the Fredells brand and operation ceased.
Fabian Fredell founded the firm in 1903 as Firma Fabian Fredell, a timber yard near Östra Station in Stockholm. The business moved four times, ending the 20th century in Södra Hammarbyhamnen. When Hammarby Sjöstad was built, the property was expropriated and Fredells received a new plot; the 44,000 m² store at Sickla Allé 2–4 opened in 2000. Bauhaus bought the company on 1 February 2019, ending the Fredells brand.
The name Fredells comes from the Fredell family, who owned the business from its founding in 1903 until the 2019 sale to Bauhaus. The store was long known in Stockholm as a brädgård, a timber yard, and the family name stayed on the facade through four changes of address.
The former Fredells site is at Sickla Allé 2-4 in Nacka, close to the Sickla tram stop and bus lines. The 44,000 m² building now operates as a Bauhaus store, so visitors should look for Bauhaus signage rather than Fredells. The sales floor is level and step-free, with wide aisles between departments.
The 2000 store covered 44,000 m² at Sickla Allé 2-4, a plot assigned to Fredells after the Hammarby Sjöstad project expropriated its Södra Hammarbyhamnen property. The company stayed in the Fredell family from its founding until the 2019 sale to Bauhaus, when the Fredells name disappeared as a brand.
