Gwangju Shinsegae Food Hall Transforms into a 'Premium' Grocery Store

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Shin Dong-ho] Gwangju Shinsegae Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Dong-hoon) announced on the 17th that its food hall store has newly opened as a premium grocery store.

Recently, due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, customer demand for home-cooked ingredients has been continuously increasing.

Accordingly, Gwangju Shinsegae has expanded its verified imported brands nationwide by about four times.

They have established a full lineup mainly of imported brands such as premium oil/vinegar brands Giuseppe Giusti, Leonardi, De Cecco, Mantova, and sauce/spice brands Stokes, O Organic, Saffron, Maldon. For pasta, the original Italian brands Rummo and De Cecco have newly joined.

In addition, they strengthened the snack MD from the US and Europe, which has become an issue mainly in the Gangnam commercial district.

Domestic and daily necessities, which had many inefficient duplicate products, were organized mainly with essential assortment products for efficient operation, and the verified premium product group was expanded and improved.

In particular, the absence of trendy issue products such as new ramen and snacks like Harim Gourmet Master Ramen and Nongshim Shrimp Crackers Black was improved.

Choi Taek-yeol, head of the Food Life Team, said, “To differentiate from competitors, we expanded imported brands that could not be seen at Gwangju Shinsegae and presented a variety of products for customers who enjoy home cooking.”
