Puuilo opens new stores in Kerava and Nummela in Vihti. The estimated opening date of the stores is before summer 2023. Each store will employ around 15-20 people. Recruitment of staff will start in winter 2023.
The Nummela store will open in the Säntinkorpi area - in the current Rusta store premises. The property will undergo major expansion works before spring 2023.
Juha Saarelan, CEO of Puuilo, commented on the new stores: "Puuilo is a relatively young player in the area and the number of stores is small compared to the purchasing power of the region. This is also reflected in a slightly lower brand awareness compared to the rest of Finland, so we still have a lot of untapped potential in the area. These new openings will be a significant boost to our store network."
Rusta, which currently operates in the building, will move to an entirely new department store that will be constructed on the same site.
