From its opening in 2008 until its 2019 merger with Jumbo, Flamingo operated as a separate shopping centre, although connected to Jumbo by a covered walkway. The two centers acted in co-operation rather than competition. The mall was renamed Jumbo-Flamingo as part of the 2019 merger, and together the two were referred to in Finnish as Viihdekauppakeskus (entertainment shopping centre), titled the biggest shopping and entertainment centre in the Nordic countries. [2]

In 2024, the Jumbo-Flamingo logo and brand were renewed, and the name was shortened to Jumbo to cover both centres. [3] The former Flamingo entertainment complex has since been referred to as Jumbo's "leisure quarter". [4]
