Overview
Teimo's Shop holds a legendary place in the My Summer Car universe. In My Winter Car, while the retail operation has moved to PSK Service Centre, Teimo's legacy lives on as Pub Nappo - a traditional Finnish pub that serves as the social heart of Peräjärvi.
Located in the former shop building on the outskirts of town, Pub Nappo offers warmth, companionship, and stress relief in the harsh Finnish winter. Teimo himself now works as the bartender, sharing local gossip and dispensing Finnish wisdom alongside cold beers.
