Money and Shopping in Chuncheon
Money and Shopping in Chuncheon
Koreans rely heavily on small, individual stores to provide goods and services for specific things. The idea of a mega store that sells everything is more recent, but growing in popularity. There are a few of these type of "mega" stores in Chuncheon, making it easy for a foreigner to find most of the grocery and general household items they need.
Emart
The closest thing to a Walmart equivalent, Emart is a large shopping center with most everything you might need. The lower level is a food court and grocery center, the second level a department store and additional levels for parking. Emart is located on the south side of Chuncheon.
GS Mart (Note: As of Dec. 2010 GS Mart in 'Aemma Co' is now Lottemart.)
A bit smaller than Emart, GS mart provides much of the same in terms of product and pricing. GS Mart also has a food court upstairs that includes a McDonalds. Some local Koreans seem to prefer GS Mart due to it's "cleaner" and less crowded nature, but it doesn't offer as large of a selection of groceries and household goods as Emart. GS Mart can be found in Seoksadong on the east side of Chuncheon.
Home Plus
address: Toegye-dong 144-1, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do, South Korea directions: Search it up on Google maps. hours: 10am - 12pm price: Like Wal-mart: Relatively inexpensive. Home Plus has only popped up here in Chuncheon in the last year. It's E-Marts major competitor throughout Korea. It's, for the most part, exactly like Wal-mart or E-mart. It has all essentials you could ever need packed into one, four story building. Produce, groceries, electronics, hardware, homeware, kitchenware, beauty products, cleaning supplies...obviously the list goes on. If you live in Toegye-dong it's the best and probably closes mart you can get to. It even has a really yummy food court on B1 and an American style restaurant (buffet style) on B2. </buy>
