IsoKarhu

IsoKarhu is a shopping center owned by Citycon, which was opened in 1991. It is located in the city center of Pori, Finland, along the Yrjönkatu pedestrian street between Karhunpää, Linna and Itätulli districts.

The oldest part of IsoKarhu was renovated in 1991 into a property where the Centrum department store, originally owned by Osuusliike Kansa, operated. The department store property, completed in 1973, was designed by Jouko Ylihannu, an architect of Osuustukkukauppa. In 2001–2004, IsoKarhu expanded to cover the entire block. Initially, the shopping center building in Pori, completed in 1978 and designed by architect Osmo Solansuu, was renovated for the use of the shopping center. The extension was introduced in October 2001.
