Ministop Unveils New Store Interior... Focus on Eco-Friendly Construction

Ministop introduces a new standard store interior that enhances customer convenience.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ministop announced on the 7th that it will introduce a new standard store interior designed to enhance customer convenience. The new standard interior focuses on a bright and lively atmosphere, responding to changes in dietary habits and expanding display space, as well as eco-friendly construction.

The store's accent colors use Ministop's signature blue and a bright white image. Additionally, the tables are lower than those used in existing stores, and floor seating chairs have been provided so that children and the elderly can rest more comfortably in the store.

The new standard interior will feature three digital signage displays installed above the counter. Digital signage is a display device that uses digital technology to deliver various information in clear image quality. Ministop plans to use digital signage as a communication channel to provide customers with useful product information.

A smart fryer that does not require a hood facility and an open kitchen have been introduced around the counter. Without enclosed spaces around the counter, the overall openness of the store is enhanced, allowing customers to see the process from cooking to display.

For ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management, eco-friendly and energy-saving elements have been introduced throughout the store. Materials such as texture and paint used during interior construction have been replaced with eco-friendly materials. An air purifier combined with a heating and cooling system using eco-friendly refrigerants and energy-saving outdoor units has been installed, and fluorescent lights used in the store have been replaced with highly efficient LEDs to save energy.

Shim Kwan-seop, CEO of Ministop, said, “We will continue various challenges to advance into a future-oriented store integrating online and offline, using the interior change as a cornerstone.”
