Kesko plans K-Rauta store on Kuopio hotel site

Kesko plans to build a K-Rauta hardware store on the Iso-Valkeinen hotel site in Kuopio. The project requires a zoning change, with Kesko aiming for a store opening in the 2030s. Kesko has purchased the property, which includes land and buildings. The hotel will continue operating until at least the end of 2028, as Kesko has leased the land back to the seller. This investment is not urgent for Kesko.
