That's 8 am at Yangpyung and Yanjae and 9 am at all of the other locations. The signs are posted at the front doors but not online, yet.
Also, we found a large Christmas cake in the bakery section with frosting that features "Merry Christmas" for 13,990 won. Also, there's a 4,000 won coupon off Hershey's Chocolates- Nuggets 52 oz, Miniatures 56 oz, or Kisses 56 oz. Two large bags of Nuggets went from 16,490 to 12,490 won each. Hershey's Nuggets are great to have around Christmas. The coupon is valid from Dec 13-19. |

I'd like to know if they have the quality streets back in yet?
Also has anyone else noticed a distinct lack of the chewy cookies in their bakery section? Please tell me that the cookie assortment - crunchy not chewy  - are not the replacement?!! |

I share because I care. 
I just wanted to add that in case you've never shopped at Costco, you don't need to bring in a coupon to get a Costco coupon discount. There are Costco employees at the door who hand out the store coupons and the cashiers will deduct the coupons even if you don't have them. Plus, all around the store there are signs above the products that have current coupons. It's very helpful in case you have other things on your mind. |

You can find Hershey's Nuggets at Hanaro mart and other Korean stores.
Costco isn't that great. |

You seem to have some sort of manic love-hate relationship with Costco. |

Hanaro Mart probably buys their stuff from Costco and resells it at a higher price like so may onthr Korean businesses. |

Do Hershey's chocolate in America taste as bad as they do in Korea? It's a horrid chocolate, in fact I'm convinced that Americans are clueless when it comes to good chocolate, and you thank Hershey's for that.
Before I get attacked by the red white and blue brigade, I think Cadbury's chocolate is awful, too. Essentially you want Swiss, Belgian or German chocolate for the good bud of taste sensations to make mouth most salivate with joy. |

The problem is cost. A large bag of Herhsey's Nuggets or Kisses is perfect for Christmas parties or used with small gifts. Buying German chocolate to do the same would cost an arm and a leg and I doubt most people would notice the difference. |

It is okay for meat, cheese and a couple of other items but overall it is over-hyped for the price you have to pay.

I highly doubt that though Dandy's in the old Hannam market building does that. |

Yes, it is the same taste.
I must ask you, what do you expect from Hersheys? It is a mass produced budget chocolate. You are unreasonable to expect high quality taste from a company operating under this model.
If you want high quality, go to any local chocolatier shop. You don't have to buy from some European country that is stereotyped for producing good chocolate.
For may people, factoring in quantity/quality/price, Hersheys is an acceptable decision. I don't think anybody will ever claim they are a gourmet chocolate company, so let's not have such lofty expectations of them. |

| The Hershey's Kisses are good for Christmas candy, too. Some people even use them for baking cookies. |

Herhsey's chocolate is perfect for Christmas because one bag will last through the whole Christmas. Sometimes I forget how bad they taste and try a piece, but then I remember and it will take a few day before I get really hungry and desperatly hope that they don't taste as bad as last time. But they do. When it come to Korean chocolate I quite like the Black Rose. The ABC Chocolate isn't bad either as long as you don't chew it. If I want chocolate to chew, I usually buy some kind of chocolate with nuts in them. This is just my preferance of course.
