Daejeon’s Hanwha Galleria branch is about to get fancy

Daejeon department store Hanwha Galleria Timeworld announced Wednesday that it will be home to Hanwha Galleria’s second luxury-goods section next year in order to boost the department store’s luxury image.

Hanwha Galleria, which only has five branches and currently operates a luxury-goods section only in its Seoul store, is currently in the process of placing its French and Italian luxury brands at its Daejeon branch.

Along with a new luxury-goods section, Timeworld will also complete renovations of its existing luxury brand stores next year.

The Daejeon branch will also revamp its eatery section by featuring new restaurants from next May.

Timeworld also plans to bolster its VIP services next year by establishing a VIP club lounge outside of the department store.
