Jessheim Storsenter

The name roughly translates as 'the torch centre' and it had a sculpture of the Roman goddess Vesta holding a torch that originally was lit by a natural gas flame.

It was built by Harald Kværner (HK) on the site of his grocery store.

HK-Senteret was rebuilt in 1996, and was expanded in 1997 by Tore Kværner who at that point had taken over control of the centre.

In 1999 Thon and Kværner initiated a joint operating agreement whereby the two centres would be merged.

The combination was known as Jessheim Storsenter, and opened in 2003 after reconstruction that merged the two centres into one large building.
