Jumbo Week


Jumbo Shopping Centre at Vantaanportti is the second largest shopping mall in Finland. It houses nearly 120 specialist shops, two hypermarkets with unbeatable prices, plus a full variety of services in the light and airy two-storey mall. With 4600 parking spaces, it has the largest parking area in Scandanavia.

Jumbo pronounced 'youm-bo'by the locals. It is a borrowed word from English and the Finns do not use it in their everyday language. The only Jumbo many are familiar with here is this shopping centre and the Jumbo jet.

More Jumbo this week...
