PyeongChang 2018 To Open First Official Retail Store On Friday

The "first official shop of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Games will open in the South Korean capital this week," selling licensed merchandise associated with the event, local organizers said on Thursday, according to YONHAP. The store will open to the public on Friday at Lotte Department Store's Myeongdong branch in central Seoul. The store, run by South Korean retailer Lotte Group, also one of the sponsors for the PyeongChang Games, will "sell products related with both the Olympics and the Paralympics in PyeongChang." The PyeongChang Organizing Committee for the 2018 Olympic & Paralympic Games said that "some 300 items, including stuffed animals of the PyeongChang Games mascots, Bandabi and Soohorang, are currently available for sale, but the number of products will double by the end of June and reach 2,000 by October." The POCOG added that "two more official PyeongChang 2018 stores will open next month at Lotte's department store and duty-free shop in Seoul" (YONHAP, 5/25).
