Once the numbers narrow your options, the work of finding a space, checking its conditions and opening the doors remains. A consultation request covers the four topics below.
Entry review
Based on your business type, budget, main customers and timeline: whether your candidate districts fit, and whether to start with a store or a pop-up.
Finding a space and checking conditions
Finding spaces that meet your conditions in your candidate districts, and checking lease terms and facilities such as exhaust, power and loading access before you sign.
Pop-up planning and operations
Planning the pop-up around its dates, scale and goals, and connecting what is needed for installation and operation.
Flagship preparation
For brands opening a long-term store: what to prepare at each step, from choosing a district to space conditions and the opening schedule.
After reviewing your request, we contact you when we judge a consultation is needed. We may not be able to contact you right away. Market analysis and rent information are not appraisals or brokerage; contract and permit decisions rest with professionals and the relevant authorities.
Brands going offline for the first time
When you want your first pop-up or store in the right place the first time, start by comparing the customers and business trends of each district.
Brands adding stores
When choosing a site for a second store or a flagship, look at sales trends by business type and competing stores in each district.
Large brands and companies
When reporting pop-up or flagship candidates internally, build your case on public data that carries its source and reference period.
Overseas brands
When considering Seongsu for your first store or pop-up in Korea, you can read about the service and sign up in English or Japanese. The analysis screens are currently in Korean.
