Leveraging Amazon Web Services and other technology, a new cashierless convenience store concept, Uncommon Store, is now open in the massive, new The Huyndai Seoul shopping complex.
In its peachy and silver colouring the 33 square-metre (355 sq.f t) Uncommon Store on the sixth floor appears more like a cosmetics outlet at a department-store or an airport than a convenience store, but that was the purpose of the designers, who sought to create an unusual convenience store and evoke a retro feel to appeal to a young South Korean shopper.
The store concept was created by local architecture and design studio [email protected] together with the Amazon-created technology concept provided by Huyndai Department Store Group’s IT service unit, Huyndai IT&E. As at the Amazon Go stores, shoppers download an app before entering the store and then scan their phone at the entrance. After that, they are free to shop and exit with the app handling the entire shop-scan-and-pay process automatically.
Uncommon Store offers snacks, soft drinks and fresh fruits by local convenience store chain Nice Weather but also other items such as toothpaste and even instant cameras.
The Huyndai Seoul shopping complex opened in late February in the Yeouido district of Seoul. Spanning 89,100 square metres (959,064 sq. ft) across 15 floors the complex houses more than 600 brands including Prada, Balenciaga and Jimmy Choo, and Asia’s first store of the Stockholm-based Arket. It also includes Asia’s largest food court and 11,240 square meters (120, 986 sq. ft) of indoor gardens.
The shopping centre is a standalone part of the Parc 1 complex designed by British architecture firm Rogers Stirk Harbour. It is located between two office towers and the new, 326-room luxury hotel Fairmount Ambassador Seoul.
Amazon opened its first Amazon Go store to the public next to its Seattle campus in 2018. The first of its larger variant, Amazon Go Grocery at 10,400 square feet (970 sq. metres), opened in the Capitol Hill neighbourhood of Seattle in 2020. There are now 29 Amazon Go and Amazon Go Grocery locations in Seattle, Chicago, San Francisco, New York and four, branded Amazon Fresh, in London. Since March 2020, Amazon has offered its Amazon Go technology, called “Just Walk Out” to other retailers. Tuija Seipell
