Even stores that have been crowded with people due to the recent corona are often closed, but as much as convenience stores, customers always visit.

It is said that convenience stores not only eat and drink, but also sell expensive luxury goods and even homes.



First, reporter Han Ji-yeon covered the situation.



<Reporter> This



is a multi-storey prefabricated house sold at a convenience store.

It is 25m2 and has 1 room, living room, kitchen and toilet.



The price is about 16 million won, and three units were sold last month.



[Jeon Eun-jung/Convenience store'prefabricated house' buyer: I was also surprised at first.

One such thing at a convenience store.

There is no place near Seoul that makes mobile homes.]



We put the cost-effectiveness ahead in order to compete with existing retailers.



[Jeon Eun-jung/Convenience store'prefabricated house' buyer: From our findings, it was the cheapest.

If it's 2 to 3 million won cheaper, we're good.]



One convenience store sold 1.5 billion won worth of pure gold, 20,000 grams, while another convenience store sold out 300 bottles of wine worth millions of won.



[Lee Hye-jung/Convenience store '1.49 million won' wine buyer: Still, since the convenience store is a large company, there is a little trust...

Because it is expensive, it may be dangerous to carry around, but it is possible to pick up and bring it in front of the house. (Good.)]



Convenience stores in five-star hotels sell expensive, famous brand products at 20-30% lower than the regular price.



Convenience stores also sell luxury goods well enough to bring in new products once a week, but you can also get discounts from carriers, so you can buy luxury goods at a lower price than department stores.



Convenience stores continue to increase the type and proportion of high-priced products as an attempt to expand beyond the daily consumption platform.



[Kim Tae-eon/Director of GS Retail: After selling expensive wines or luxury goods, it was analyzed that the sales performance was quite good, so we plan to expand these stores in the future.]



Convenience stores are offline retailers in the context of Corona 19 due to accessibility and product differentiation. Sales growth was recorded alone.
