Recently, a new mart opened in my part of Tongyeong, so I thought it'd be a great time to show you what this experience is like in Korea. While we would call this a 'grand opening', Korea has Konglished this into 'Grand Open'...so here a look a this mart's 'Grand Open'.
It's always easy to recognize a new store that is opening because of the loads of flowers that are outside on the street. They almost remind me of funeral flowers back in the States...with their massive size and free-standing structure. But they are still beautiful and eye-catching, so it is a pretty sight to see! At some bigger stores or business, the Grand Open event can be really big. Sometimes they'll have dancing girls, a band, or stilted men. It's all very fun!
A close look at the pretty flowers!
One reason it's good to spot these 'Grand Open' occasions is because the new business usually gives away free things to promote their new business. I've gotten a range of different things...reuseable shopping bag, coffee mug, etc....just by going to these events! And we all know how much I like free stuff! :)
