Department store on the weekend… Waiting for 20 minutes in the parking lot due to crowds
Due to crowding in front of luxury stores… Waiting only 150-250 teams
On Saturday,’open run’ waits even in the rain… Food Hall and Fashion Hall

After a hard spring rain, the department store on the weekend faced a sunny day and was crowded with consumers who came out for retaliation. Customers flocked to department stores in downtown Seoul, which were on a regular spring sale, and long lines lined up in front of luxury stores.

The Shinsegae Department Store Main Store, Yeongdeungpo Store, Lotte Department Store Main Store, and Jamsil Store, which we visited on the morning of the 4th, were crowded with people who went shopping. In the morning of this morning, Times Square, where the Yeongdeungpo branch of Shinsegae Department Store is located, was crowded enough to wait 20 minutes to enter the parking lot.

At the luxury store in the passage connecting Times Square and Shinsegae Department Store, customers lined up for retaliation. A citizen who asked for anonymity said, “I came to change my feelings of not being able to go out due to the corona,” and “I think there are more people than I thought.”

I thought it was surprisingly relaxed because there was only one team waiting in front of the Louis Vuitton store, but it was an illusion. There were only 161 teams who received the waiting number in front of the store. Waiting people were shopping in other places, and when their turn came, they visited the store when contacted by KakaoTalk or the like.

The situation was similar in other department stores. Lotte Department Store’s Jamsil Branch Avenuel’s Chanel store had 262 teams on standby at around 11:40 am on this day. Those who wish to visit the store left their numbers and left for shopping at other stores.

People also poured into the headquarters of Shinsegae Department Store and Lotte Department Store in Sogong-dong. “I came to the department store even when it rained yesterday, but there were a lot of people,” said A.

It is said that the day before it rained, the department store was crowded from the morning. Even while it was raining, there was a long’open run’ line in front of the department store waiting to buy products from luxury brands such as Chanel. On this day, it was difficult to find vacant seats not only in fashion stores but also in food stores as family-level customers flocked.

In the retail industry, as spring comes, more and more consumers are looking to shop for a refreshment. In addition, major department stores launched regular spring sales at once, fueling the fever of retaliatory consumption. Lotte, Shinsegae, and Hyundai Department Store will hold regular spring sales until the 18th.

An official in the department store industry said, “It seems that department stores have prepared abundantly for product exhibitions and discount events in the spring when outdoor activities are increasing.”
