Municipality of Sofades

Commercial and agricultural municipality without major changes: almost as many opened as closed in a year. For its 16,927 residents it has few: restaurants, clothing.

This month's picture · written by AI from the figures on this pageΟ δήμος Σοφάδων στη Θεσσαλία είναι ένας ήσυχος τόπος με χαρακτήρα εμπορικό και αγροτικό, όπου κυριαρχούν οι καλλιέργειες, τα κρεοπωλεία και μανάβικα, το χονδρεμπόριο και τα φωτοβολταϊκά. Λιγότερα είναι τα καταστήματα ένδυσης, τα εστιατόρια, τα συνεργεία και τα φροντιστήρια, ενώ ξεχωρίζει η κινητικότητα στις καθαριστικές εταιρείες.

"Businesses" are all active ones, sole proprietorships included. "Companies" are legal entities only (S.A., Ltd, P.C., general and limited partnerships etc.): only these keep their municipality in the registry when they close, which is why openings and closures count companies.
