According to Avisa Oslo, there is chaos outside several liquor stores in Oslo. For example, the queue outside Vinmonopolet in Markveien stretched 150 meters down towards Grünerbrua at 11 o’clock, writes warn.
Outside Vinmonopolet at Strømmen shopping center in Lillestrøm, the queues are also long, according to Romerikes Blad.
– We can not even see Vinmonopolet, so long is the queue, says a customer, according to the newspaper.
– We have mostly high sales these days. This is one of our sales peaks. The first is Easter, and the next is now before May 17. On the last day of April, ie the day before the first of May, we had the biggest sales day so far. Then it was topped on Wednesday this week, says Hege Lill Hagen Asp, senior communications consultant at Vinmonopolet.

– We hope the customers are good at distributing the trade evenly, as we saw before Christmas and Easter, but it is a bit early to say, she adds.

Hagen Asp says that she sees there have been “a lot of sales” in the first hour.
– We may expect a declining curve throughout the day, while normally it would have been rising for a weekend, she says.
She points out that there are often long queues at Vinmonopolet on Grünerløkka.
– The queues probably look worse than they are. When you first enter the store, it goes pretty fast.
A tip from the communications consultant is to try another pole nearby.
– I also know that the center poles, which have previously had a lot of sales, have had fewer people drop by than they usually do during the corona, she says and adds:
– Feel free to also check our “traffic light” on the website or in the app, for an overview of when the least queue is expected, or if there are other poles nearby with less expected queue.
The case is being updated.
