The first general store opened in the village at the end of the 19th century. Over the years, new stores have come and gone. Until the last one closed in the late 1980s, there has always been at least one store in the village..

A. Palmgrens village shop

Daniel Palmgren, owned a shop in Bredvik with a branch in Norrbyn in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The shop was located on the same plot of land as the school.

B. F.M.Wikners general store

After the death of general merchant Palmgren, F.M. Wikner’s Diversehandel from Kylören opened a branch in Norrbyn.

The business was taken over by their daughter Maj and her husband Gunnar Johansson in 1958 and in 1964 the store was converted into a supermarket, with investment in new refrigerators and freezers. The business was closed in 1988, when Gunnar retired,
