Demand for home-grown food has exploded since the shutdown. That was the rescue for Shiraz Macho.

Shiraz Macho packs groceries in boxes. The next morning, the goods will be sent from Odas’ (formerly Kolonial) warehouse to customers in the Oslo area.

But shortly after the layoff notice, the message came from the boss.
