Kesko continues to grow and update its network of grocery store sites in line with its growth strategy by opening new K-Citymarket hypermarket stores in Haapaniemi, Kuopio and the Ideapark shopping centre in Lempaala near Tampere. The sales of Kesko's K-Citymarket hypermarkets have been growing significantly, and the hypermarkets have a crucial impact on the profitability and market share of Kesko's grocery store business. The new hypermarket will total 12,000 square metres in size, with food and home and speciality goods departments and front-of-store shops.

It will offer nearly 500 customer parking spaces. The building permit is currently being processed, and Kesko aims to open the store in early 2026. The new K-Citymarket store will be located in an extension to be built in the shopping centre, and will be some 7,000 square metres in size., housing both food and home and speciality items. Construction will begin this year, and the store is expected to open in 2025.
