History
After Karmøy was founded as a result of merging several municipalities in 1965, a fairly large part of the new municipality was located on the mainland, and within a few years became the quickest growing part of Karmøy. Unlike the various villages on the island proper, the mainland lacked a centralized area for shops and businesses. Oasen Storsenter opened up as the first one in the region in 1977. During the first year the shopping centre only had 6000 m² available, but this was expanded to 10.000 m² in 1978, with further expansions in 1985, 1996, 2002 and 2014.
Oasen Storsenter was bought by Olav Thon in 1998 for 160 million kroner.[1]
Today
Today the shopping centre spans three floors, with shops in the basement and first floor and a gym and various health services on the second floor.
