, Myyrmanni is best reached by bus route 300 or P-train to Myyrmäki Station, located next to the mall.
Myyrmanni was the site of a
bombing on October 11, 2002, where seven people were killed.
In 2010, the mall attempted to improve the customer flow to the second floor, as there were queues at the landscape lifts, and the steel car lifts were ignored.
Kone Lifts turned the elevators into a Hall of Fame for the 'Incredibles' comic strip characters. Making their elevators more attractive to the public solved the people flow problem. This practical case of service design thinking is used in literature as an example of extending products into services.
