E-Land Opens 'NC Daejeon Yuseong Branch'... "Next-Generation Urban Outlet"

[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] E-Land Group announced on the 13th that it will open NC Daejeon Yuseong, a next-generation urban lifestyle outlet, in Yuseong-gu, Daejeon on the 17th.

Located near Yuseong Oncheon Station of the Daejeon subway, NC Daejeon Yuseong has a total floor area of approximately 76,000㎡ (about 20,030 pyeong) and a sales area of 55,000㎡, making it the largest E-Land Retail store. It had a soft opening on the 1st of this month and houses a total of about 250 brands from basement level 1 to the 10th floor above ground.

NC Yuseong expanded its category from fashion-focused products to lifestyle in line with changing trends. To increase the time customers spend, experiential content such as kids cafes and complex cultural spaces were increased by more than 30% compared to existing urban outlets. The VIP customer lounge of E-Land retail stores, 'Lounge E,' was also opened for the first time in a regional area at NC Yuseong, following NC Gangseo in Seoul.

On the first floor, E-Land Retail introduced a new mass prestige (mass luxury) curated store 'by Luxury Gallery' alongside the luxury curated store 'Luxury Gallery' it operates, and also housed 'Mivent,' a curated store handling high-end luxury goods, strengthening the luxury product lineup. In the living category, 'Hanssem Design Park,' showcasing furniture, interior, and household goods, was established on about 1,000 pyeong, and Lotte Hi-Mart entered the electronics section with about 500 pyeong. Dining establishments operated by E-Land Eats, including Ashley Queens and Pizza Mall buffet, also opened, and fresh food is sold in the basement level 1 food hall.

E-Land Group’s strategy with NC Daejeon Yuseong is to target niche markets in the Daejeon commercial district, which is mainly department store-centered. From the design stage, customers from Doan New Town and Noeun New Town were set as the main customer base, positioning the outlet as a 'one-stop shopping mall in the city' where local housewives can complete shopping and rest before their children return from kindergarten or academies. Additionally, emphasizing 'co-prosperity,' the outlet attracted local brands such as Daejeon’s children’s art education centers, well-known local roastery cafes, and popular restaurants.

An E-Land Retail official said, "NC Yuseong is a next-generation urban outlet that incorporates E-Land’s 30 years of outlet operation experience and recent customer lifestyle trends. We plan to operate it so that customers from Daejeon, Sejong, and the Chungcheong region can visit with satisfaction."
