Let me see if I got this right:

To get to Lotte Mart I can take the Green Line (Line 2) to Dangsan. Or I can take the Green Line (line 2) to Eulijio Station Exit 8.

To get to HomePlus take the Green Line (Line 2) to Dangsan Exit 6. or Munrae (Mullae? station) Exit 4? (I am unclear on this one)

Is there an official site for Homeplus? Are they both the equivalent to Target in the United States (except they include groceries?)

Seoul Station has a big Lotte Mart. Go there.

www.homeplus.co.kr but it's all in Korean...

Depends where u live.... Homeplus at Jamsil (green line). Lotte Marts in many places, some small stations too...e.g. Bampo (dark green line) and Kyodae (orange line).

There's a big E-mart underneath Yongsan Station, too.

There is bound to be a Lotte Mart, HomePlus, HomeEver or Emart anywhere you are at in Seoul.

They are good on some prices, but I pay less at local grocers or local shops for many, many things. They good if you need many things at one time, or specialty items, but there are lots of products that are cheaper elsewhere and you support small families, not corporations, by buying things at your local corner shop.

FWIW, there's a good E-mart inside Bucheon station (line 1 towards Incheon) if you're on that side of town. I live by the Sosa station, and this particular E-mart was the first place I discovered that sold stuff at a quasi-reasonable price. Just my 2 cents - er 20 won.

Take the mauve line to gundong and the homeplus will be there on your right

[mnhnhyouh]

There is a big Homeplus on the Purple line near Omokyo station as well.

Doesn't the website have a store finder? That'd be useful.

[MollyBloom]

Where is the Homeplus near Gangnam/Seocho?

[spliff]

Where is the Homeplus in/near Yong-In, Suji or Bundong?

Does anyone know the closest Emart, Homeplus or Lotte Mart to Sssangnum (Dobong gu)?

I have tried to find one ... but have not found one near to where I live. I have some OK small local supermarkets ... but the only bigger shop I have been able to find relatively locally is a Lotte Department Store in Nowon and know (from living in a differnt place last year) how to get to Lotte Mart and Homeplus in Jamsil ... But I want to find a closer alternative if I can find one ... I expect they are there ... I just cannot find them
