Finland’s last Tiimari stops – this is the case there
The abstract is made by artificial intelligence and checked by man.
Finland’s last Tiimari closes its doors in Kouvola at the end of April or earlier.
Tiimari’s story ends when the last store closes in Valtar shopping center.
Tiimarin’s net sales have fallen significantly in recent years as the growth of e -commerce.
”We came To look at the last moments of the crafting sky! ” says Heini Niskanen.
The last ones are indeed taken, as most Tiimari shelves are already shaking their emptiness. There are mainly items left that do not redeem the title of the crafting sky, such as tall candles.
Daughter Linda Niskanen5, however, finds a plastic flower on the shelves on the shelves, admiring it.
Probably I have had a similar look when I first got to Kouvola’s Tiimari as a little girl. At that time, Tiimari was a few hundred meters from Kauppalankatu, the current pedestrian street Mansk. The current Tiimari is a shopping center in Valtar.
Then Kouvola’s Tiimari was one of the hundreds, now it’s only one, and very soon there will be zero.
Finland’s last Tiimari will close its doors at the end of April or maybe earlier if the sale runs out.
Heini and Linda Niskanen, who came to visit Mamma Seija Mäkelä (left), definitely wanted to come to Tiimari for the last time.
In Lohja Niskanen, who lives, definitely wanted to come to see Tiimari once again when he came to Kouvola his mother Seija Mäkelä with.
The closure of the trade mourns the neck as Tiimari was an integral part of childhood.
« I lived as a child in Lempäälä and almost every day we went to Tiimari to hopping stuff. »
Occasionally, Tiimari was traveled even when it was closed that day.
« We went to see if something new and wonderful had come to the store. »
Heini Niskanen no longer remembers what he once bought in the first visit, but strong betting is a smell or fluffy pencil.
These are not available now and is likely to be one of the reasons why Tiimari will be closed. In time, fluffy pencils were only available in Tiimari, now they are available in every Market.
Modern Tiimar also lacks the appealing mixed melody created by fluffy pens, notebooks, porcelain animals and artificial flowers. It’s somehow too cool here. All the goods are in the order of wooden shelves, and no stacks that defy gravity.
Tiimari’s green name tag will soon move to where Seppälä, the bidders’ and Anttila signs are already: in the twilight of history.
Laura Lattu, who lives in Kouvola, was in Tiimari for the second time during the shooting week. Now cards and stickers came along.
This is probably because years ago Tiimari began to focus more on selling office supplies and home decoration. It worked for a moment, but then came the Flying Tiger and other shops offered, and Tiimari stayed on my feet. The last staple is probably the purchase of the Temu online store.
Card -browsing Laura Lattu Recognizes that he is an artist, even though he is also a faithful regular customer of Tiimari.
« From there you get stuff so cheap. »
Top of the top of the top of the top However, in addition to Temu, Tiimari has been shopping almost weekly. Most of the craft supplies have come along, as the Lattu makes jewelry and cards and sells them. For the Latu living in the city center, Tiimari has been conveniently within walking distance.
« I guess you have to start visiting Blue, » Lattu says.
However, you can’t pop there as many times as Tiimari, as the locomotive is within a car ride and the track does not have a car.
« I am annoyed and annoying, but I understand the situation. Since Korona, places have been closed as online ordering became more common. »
The popularity of online ordering is reflected in Tiimari’s net sales. While it was almost € 700,000 in 2016, it had shrunk to EUR 175,000 in 2023.
Visiting Juha Hasu, who visits Kouvola, decided to pop into Tiimari to buy friends with funny hats. He has not been in Tiimari for years, as a former Myllykoski man moved to Kokemäki after work when the paper mill was closed.
Jari Holm, who was riding friends, hardly ever goes to Tiimari. However, he is annoyed by the fact that the stone movements stop: « It is sad that the city will be even cleared. »
Official The causes of stops are left to guess as the entrepreneur of Kouvola Tiimari Petri Rantanen Does not respond to the HS interview request. The sellers also refuse to interview because Rantanen has asked that they do not talk to the media.
When Petri Rantanen bought the Bankrupt Tiimari brand in 2014, he was still in the mood. Then he thought in an interview with the Federation of Commerce that it was not worthwhile to set up a Tiimari online store because « our products are so cheap ».
Instead, Rantanen planned to open a couple of new stores. In addition to Kouvola, another store opened in Lahti in 2016, but it only worked for two years. No other stores were opened.
And now the last one is closing its doors forever.
« Daddy. My girl no longer has a Tiimari to go to buy school supplies when she starts school, » Sighs Niskanen.
