Did the bakers at Västberga handel ever sing along to Evert Taube while they worked? This unassuming shopping center holds a surprisingly melodic past. Västberga handel wasn’t always a place for grocery shopping and grabbing a quick bite to eat. It once housed the “San Remo-bageriet,” a massive bakery owned by Kooperativa förbundet. Picture this: the year is 1959. The aroma of freshly baked bread fills the air as bakers, clad in white, move with practiced ease. They’re preparing dough for countless loaves, pastries, and treats. The bakery, a modernist masterpiece with its clean lines and expansive windows, hums with activity. But why “San Remo”? The answer lies in a popular Swedish song! Evert Taube, a beloved singer-songwriter, penned “Den glade bagarn uti San Remo stad”–”The happy baker in the city of San Remo.” This catchy tune inspired the bakery’s name, adding a touch of whimsy to the industrial landscape. Although the ovens of San Remo-bageriet cooled in 2006, the space found new life as Västberga handel. Next time you’re browsing the aisles, take a moment to imagine the echoes of clanging trays and the scent of yeast in the air. You might even hear a phantom melody, a faint echo of Taube’s happy baker, still lingering in the air.
