Sale is a grocery shop chain in Finland, owned by the S Group. The chain was founded in 1989, when the S Group had begun to consolidate its stores under national chains.[1] Initially, the chain was called S-ale.[2] Before that, Sales replaced the former small S-stores that were not part of any chain.[3] As of 2024, the chain has 300 stores in Finland.[4]
Sale's stores are typically located in the countryside, small towns and suburbs, however it is not uncommon to see them in larger cities, like Jyväskylä and Kuopio.[4] The stores have a range of 1,700-3,000 products, mainly focused on food and hygiene products. In the Helsinki metropolitan area, the S Group uses the brand Alepa
