PUUILO PLC, PRESS RELEASE, 9 OCTOBER 2026 at 7.30 a.m.

Puuilo will continue to expand its store network by opening a new store in Luolala, Naantali, in summer 2027. Construction work on the store to be built on Noutokatu has already begun. The new store, with a total area of approximately 3,000 square metres, will offer the same wide product range as the company’s other stores. When it opens, the store will employ approximately 13 people, and recruitment will begin in spring 2027.

Puuilo has been looking for a suitable retail location in Naantali for a long time, considering both existing retail properties and development sites. The new store will be built in a central location with good transport connections. The nearest Puuilo stores are located in Raisio, Lieto and Kaarina, and the company has also announced that it will open a new store in Mälikkälä, Turku. “Naantali is a natural direction for us to expand in Southwest Finland, and the new store will complement our store network in the region,” says CEO Juha Saarela.

Puuilo’s growth is progressing in line with its strategy in both Finland and Sweden. Puuilo currently has approximately 60 stores in Finland, and the company continues to expand its store network. During the current financial year 2026, the company has opened new stores in Karjaa Raasepori, Lahti Holma, Kangasala, Espoo Espoonlahti, Hollola and Jyväskylä Vaajakoski. The company has previously announced that it will open further new stores during the current financial year in Kurikka and Turku. In addition, Puuilo will open new stores in Jämsä, Ylivieska, Loviisa, Valkeakoski and Sipoo in 2027. In Sweden, the company has announced the opening of its first two stores in Örebro and Sundsvall. Other future store openings will be announced later.
