홈플러스, 재개장 닷새 매출 437억 원…영업 중단 전보다 191% 늘어

Translation

Homeplus said on 18 August that it took 43.7 billion won in total sales over the five days of its 'Hompl is Back' reopening event, from the 13th to the 17th. That is about 191% more than the 15 billion won it took over the five days from 2 to 6 July, before it temporarily suspended business — an increase of 28.7 billion won. Daily average sales rose from about 3 billion won before the suspension to about 8.7 billion won after reopening, and on the 13th, the first day back, sales for the day alone reached 10.6 billion won. The daily average number of customers also grew from 138,200 before the suspension to 239,600 after reopening, a rise of nearly 74%. Over the three days of the Liberation Day holiday, from the 15th to the 17th, card-payment sales alone came to 11.7 billion won. Sales performance counts among the key grounds for the court's decision on whether to approve the rehabilitation plan, and Homeplus faces a deadline of 4 September for the plan's approval.
