Business design

Rusta was already hugely successful within discount retail. With a turnover of SEK 1,7 bn and a double-digit profit, who could ask for more? Well, the founding partners did, but they also realised they needed an outside-in perspective on the case. ForOne was asked to help figure out ways to make the concept scalable with a overall goal to reach SEK 4 bn within a couple of years.

Key to Rusta's extreme growth since then has been a simple, super-effective and scalable business and brand concept. This is basically what ForOne developed together with Rusta and we are so proud that the same concept is still in place today. Rusta is an unimaginable success case with a turnover now exceeding SEK 9 bn in 2023 and with sustained profitability during a largely organic expansion.
