In a bid to attract the MZ Generation (a term referring to Millennials and Generation Z) and shift from traditional product purchasing, convenience stores in South Korea are incorporating experiential services. GS25 has introduced AI-driven beauty devices in select outlets to offer personalized beauty and styling advice. These devices analyze customers’ skin tones to recommend appropriate cosmetics and fashion items, facilitating an integrated shopping experience. Moreover, CU has launched instant tattoo printing machines catering to the self-expressive needs of the younger generation. This trend highlights the evolution of convenience stores into lifestyle hubs providing interactive consumer experiences beyond mere shopping.
