VAKUEN Opens Its First Permanent Store at Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam

VAKUEN, a premium vacuum food storage brand, will open its first permanent retail store on the 20th at Shinsegae Department Store's Gangnam branch.

Built around patented vacuum-sealing technology designed to help reduce oxidation and spoilage, VAKUEN has introduced a new approach to the conventional food storage container market.

According to the company, VAKUEN's vacuum device can be used for approximately two weeks on a single charge and can help keep food fresh for up to five times longer than conventional airtight containers.

These features have helped VAKUEN gain strong popularity among consumers on social media, while the brand has also been featured across a variety of media content.

Located on the ninth floor of Shinsegae Department Store Gangnam, VAKUEN's first permanent offline store will showcase a wide range of collections, including the signature 'White Edition,' the popular '176 Edition' introduced last year, and the 'Warm Edition,' which had previously been available exclusively through home shopping channels.

"We carefully prepared this store in response to the strong support we received from customers last year," said Byungjun Jung, CEO of MAKERVILLE, the company behind VAKUEN. "Starting with our first permanent store at Shinsegae Department Store, we plan to expand our offline presence so that more customers can experience VAKUEN firsthand, while joining us in reducing food waste and contributing to more sustainable everyday living."

"We will also continue listening to customers directly in-store and use their feedback to further develop and grow the brand," Jung added.
