At the end of the second quarter, Nokian Tyres could count a total of 961 fast fit outlets operating under the Vianor banner. While the tyre maker directly owns 180 of these, a further 781 operate under franchise and other partnership agreements. In the first half of 2012 the network grew by a further 51 outlets, and upon releasing its financial data to 30 June Nokian stated that it sees reaching the 1,000 outlet milestone a realistic goal for this year.

Russia and the CIS are the most important regions for the Vianor network; currently 505 outlets are located there, in 297 cities.
