Currently, we have five stores in South Korea, located in the major cities of Seoul, Suwon (Gwanggyo), Cheonan, Daejeon, and Jinju. Together, the Galleria department stores offer an unparalleled suite of upscale shopping experiences. Each store features distinctive brands and caters to local fashion trends, while also offering a food culture sure to satisfy every discerning taste. All our stores have improved performance through unique luxury merchandising, unrivaled VIP marketing, and premium branding, with these efforts resulting in record-high sales and operating profit in 2021.

Galleria Gwanggyo, the largest of the five department stores operated by Hanwha Galleria, represents a new concept of nature-friendly multicultural shopping complexes. Located in the metropolitan city of Daejeon, Galleria Timeworld specializes in luxury fashion brands from around the world and offers the ultimate in customer convenience solidifying its reputation as the premier luxury shopping destination in the region. We also operate Centercity, an arts and cultural center in central South Korea, and Galleria Jinju, a premier department store in the western region of South Gyeongsang Province.
Our fashion business mainly focuses on retailing exclusive brands and stores. We source directly from global luxury fashion houses, such as Italy’s Stefano Ricci and luxury daily wear brand James Perse. Our collection of select premium brands and our ability to source the most exclusive fashion items are unmatched in the markets we operate in, a competitive advantage that enables us to keep expanding our footprint. We also operate high-end fashion boutiques including G. STREET 494 HOMME, one of the world’s finest names in menswear.
Galleria Gwanggyo
Our F&B business continues to increase in brand value through our promotion of the Gourmet 494 brand. We are also collaborating with gourmet restaurants to develop a variety of Gourmet 494 private brand products made with carefully curated ingredients. These products are recognized for their excellent quality and are beloved by customers.
In 2020, we launched the premium lifestyle platform Gourmet 494 Hannam in Nine One Hannam, a high-end residential complex, offering food and lifestyle content carefully selected by Galleria. In 2023, we successfully introduced Korean food enthusiasts to the popular U.S. burger chain Five Guys. We currently operate branches in Gangnam, Yeouido, Express Bus Terminal, and Seoul Station, with plans to expand to 15 stores over the next five years.
Hanwha Galleria will continue to strengthen our luxury brand merchandising, VIP marketing, and premium branding while actively promoting our core competencies, new businesses, digital transformation technologies, and original content creation. We aim to showcase high-end experiences and value throughout our customers’ lifestyles, lead cultural trends, and provide a wide array of experiences and benefits that our customers can enjoy.
