Zeppelin is a shopping center in Kempele, Finland. It is located in the immediate vicinity of Highway 4, about 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) south of the city center of Oulu and about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) from Kempele's town center in the Ylikylä area, east of the Seinäjoki–Oulu railway known as the Ostrobothnian Railway.

The design of the shopping center began in 1986, conceived by Antero Immonen and Veikko Oikarinen, the then mayor of Kempele. In 1990, construction of the mall began and its inauguration was celebrated on April 8, 1992.[1] In January–February 2011, expansion work was started in the shopping center, where the premises of the Prisma hypermarket were expanded and new retail premises were built.[3] The extension was inaugurated on November 2, 2011.[4]
