Amid ongoing high inflation, South Korean department store dining areas are gaining popularity as cost-effective dining options. This year, Hyundai Department Store reported a 12.6% increase in sales at its dining spots compared to last year. The attractive features include a comfortable indoor environment, diverse menu selections, and convenient access, appealing especially to 30s and 40s age groups with families. To cater to the demand, Hyundai plans monthly 'Dining Week' events offering significant discounts. The trend reflects a shift in perception that department stores are only for expensive dining.
