GIS Coverage Expansion — Norway, Sweden, United Kingdom (May 2026)
TopicFrom the Woodfine Projects
Internal client communication announcing GIS coverage expansion to Norway (66 T2 Hub clusters), material additions in Sweden via Bauhaus Sverige, and 24 confirmed UK clusters — bringing the Europe dataset to 479 scored co-location clusters at 3 km radius.

The Woodfine co-location intelligence platform now covers Norway, with 66 scored retail nodes — the first time Norwegian retail corridors have appeared in the dataset. The expansion reflects the completion of location data for Obs Bygg, the DIY hardware format operated by Coop Norge, and its systematic co-occurrence with Obs Coop hypermarket sites across the country.
Sweden and the United Kingdom also saw material coverage improvements. In Sweden, the addition of Bauhaus Sverige as a qualifying secondary hardware anchor unlocked co-location scoring at IKEA nodes in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and six other metropolitan areas. In the United Kingdom, the confirmation of 356 verified B&Q locations resolved a prior data gap, producing 24 scored nodes at the 3 km radius — including sites near London, Birmingham, and Edinburgh.
The Europe dataset now includes 479 scored clusters at the standard 3 km radius, up from 466.
Key figures (as of May 6, 2026):
- Norway: 66 T2 Hub clusters (previously: none)
- Sweden: T2 Hub clusters active in Stockholm, Gothenburg, Uppsala, Malmö corridors
- United Kingdom: 24 clusters at 3 km; 11 at 1 km
- Europe total: 479 clusters (3 km); 314 clusters (1 km)
- Global total: 4,237 scored clusters across North America and Europe
All figures reflect OSM-sourced location data ingested through the Overpass API as of May 6, 2026. Cluster counts vary by radius selection (1 km / 3 km) and reflect the V2 scoring methodology (T3 Apex ≥ 700, T2 Hub ≥ 450, T1 Valid ≥ 150).
