Ullared is a locality situated in Falkenberg Municipality, Halland County, Sweden, with 791 inhabitants in 2010.The village hosts a large department store, Gekås. It is the largest store in both Sweden and Scandinavia, and the growth of the store has made Ullared more or less synonymous with low prices among Swedes. A large number of stores, usually in the lower price range, have been established in the village since the early 1990s.HistoryTwo railways built in the late 19th century and early 20th century, Falkenberg railway (Falkenberg - Limmared) and WbÄJ (Varberg - Ätran 1911-1961), had a station in Ullared, which gave it an advantage compared to surrounding villages. The railways closed around 1960. The following decade saw a lot of housing construction and the establishment of many shops and an increase in publish services.The municipality merged with Källsjö and Fagered in the 1950s, during the reform by which parish sized municipalities merged to form new units. The next reform in 1971 lead to the village becoming a part of Falkenberg Municipality.The council adopted a general plan for the village in 2005. The plan assign Ängaberg (an area behind the school) as suitable for residential buildings. Areas to the east of the village are assigned to retailing. The area behind Gekås' parking is considered appropriate for recreation. A new road is planned between county road 154 and GeKås, in order to relieve traffic congestion on the central parts of the village. There are long term plans to change the direction of country road 154.
