While you might not find it to be quite as serviceable as some of Helsinki’s more famous shopping malls and commercial centers, the Kauppakeskus Ruoholahti shopping mall is notable for its first class electronics and computer store. While much of the shopping mall is modest, the electronics store is widely considered the very best shop of its type in all of Helsinki (though Oulu is considered perhaps the best city in Helsinki to do some real computer shopping).
The mall is often cited for its electronics store, but another, lesser known draw to Kauppakeskus Ruoholahti is its outlet warehouse. This store sells name brand merchandise from around the world at very low prices, with discounts and sales around every corner. Even though many people refer to Kauppakeskus Ruoholahti as a B-grade shopping mall, the opportunities to shop for inexpensive clothing and electronics are basically second to none in the city of Helsinki.
