Shop on the go
South Koreans work many hours a day, so the workers
are often too busy to go shopping for grocery at a
traditional store. The UK's giant supermarket, Tesco,
introduced "virtual stores", which are essentially
5 a display of products on walls of the underground
stations and bus stops. People scan the QR codes of the
products on display with their smartphones, and place
their orders as they wait for the train or bus.
The virtual stores are set up in public spaces, most
10 often in underground stations and bus stops with high
foot traffic1. This is how the stores work:
- interested customers must download the Homeplus app into their smartphones;
- then they use their smartphones to scan the QR codes of the products they want to purchase. The
posters in the virtual stores are designed to look like the actual aisles and shelves of a regular Tesco
15 store, making the experience very user-friendly;
− the scanned products are stored in the customers' virtual shopping cart, and they pay online once
their order is completed. Homeplus reported that the majority of the orders are placed at 10 a.m.
and 4 p.m., when people are commuting2 to and from work;
− customers schedule a time for home delivery. Same-day delivery is the norm, so that customers
20 can get their products by the time they get back home from work.
The virtual store was a huge success with commuters and there were over 900,000 app downloads in
less than one year, making the Homeplus app the most popular shopping app in South Korea.
