===Finland=== [[File:R-kioski by Vaasankatu in Harju, Helsinki, Finland, 2021.jpg|thumb|200px|right|[[R-Kioski]] in [[Helsinki]], [[Finland]]]] In [[Finland]], convenience stores are referred to as kiosks, except for those found inside service stations, which are referred to simply as stores. The biggest convenience store chain is [[R-Kioski]], with over 560 kiosks across the country, which are all franchise-licensed businesses. There are some independent convenience stores that use the word Kymppi or number 10 in their business name, which is reminiscent of a former large convenience store chain called 10-Kioski, which vanished around the early 2000s. Kymppi is a spoken colloquial word for number 10 ("kymmenen") in Finnish.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}} Smaller towns often have independent kiosks. Convenience stores at service stations are run by either the station's parent oil company such as [[Royal Dutch Shell|Shell]] or by either of the two major retail corporations in Finland, [[Kesko]] or [[S Group]]. Virtually all staffed service stations have a small convenience store.{{citation needed|date=April 2024}}
