The mall was opened on November 1, 2012.[1] The shopping center have about 70-90 stores,[3] and it belongs to the Ikano Group, which is owned by Ikea.[5] The shops are positioned according to a concept, so all the sports stores, for example, will be together to make it easier for customers to find the things they are looking for. The fashion boutiques will be sited according to their target groups.[2]
In the summer 2020, the Kuopio-themed Olopuisto outdoor activity park was completed, right next to the shopping center.[6]
