Olive Young, CJ Group’s health and beauty drugstore brand, said Monday that its flagship store in Gangnam has attracted 5 million visitors since it opened last year.

Its Gangnam store opened in September 2017 at a four-story building located near subway Line No. 2 Gangnam Station. 

Its third-quarter sales this year increased by 39 percent on-year, the company said, posting the second greatest sales among its stores.

While the Olive Young Myeong-dong store records the highest sales, given that so many foreign tourists shop in Myeong-dong, Gangnam store’s sales are mostly attributable to local visitors, the company said. 

“We will continue to offer customers a variety of product selections and new shopping experiences using AR (augmented reality) technology and digital devices inside the store,” said an Olive Young official.
