‘Olive Market’ to open in Pangyo

The cable channel Olive will open their own “Olive Market” from Nov. 13 to 17 selling products related to food and lifestyle at Hyundai Department Store’s Pangyo, Gyeonggi branch, the channel announced on Tuesday.

Before the event takes place, those interested can buy products in advance online at the CJ Mall website (www.cjmall.co.kr).

The market was previously held earlier this year, in May at the Hyundai Department Store’s Coex branch. The event was considered a success, as it attracted over 30,000 people in five days.

The market will target the channel’s main consumer base - women in their 30s to 40s - by offering products from their favorite brands. A total of 3,300 food, kitchen, dining and lifestyle brands will be available. Special sections where participants can try out the products, mini concerts and film screenings will also be prepared along with the market.

The market is free to enter and will be located at the department store’s first basement and eighth, ninth and tenth floors.
