Lotte department stores in Daegu to hold winter sale from Friday

Lotte Department Store's Daegu and Sangin branches will hold their winter sale from Friday through Nov. 29, the retailer announced Wednesday.

More than 200 brands across fashion, outdoor and children's categories will participate, offering discounts of up to 50 percent. Each store has also prepared winter fashion events and Christmas programming.

The Daegu branch will host a "Women's Winter Fashion Special" at a dedicated event space on the second basement floor from Nov. 13 through Nov. 19. Lingerie brand Venus and women's clothing brands MC and Ribon will take part, showcasing winter fashion products.

During the same period, the Sangin branch will hold a "Winter Outerwear and Shoes Special" at a dedicated event space on the fourth floor, featuring women's designer brand Choi Bok-ho and footwear brand Tandy.

Ahead of the sale, the Sangin branch will also run a "Christmas Market" at a dedicated event space on the seventh floor from Thursday through Dec. 31, selling year-end gift items including music boxes, Christmas cards, stuffed animals and imported books.

To mark Lotte Department Store's 47th anniversary, a gift card promotion will run from Friday through Sunday. Customers who spend 200,000 won ($145) or more — or 400,000 won or more — in a single brand on the same day using a Hyundai, KB Kookmin or NH Nonghyup card will receive Lotte mobile gift vouchers worth 10,000 won or 20,000 won, respectively.

Events tied to Hey Yeti — Lotte Department Store's new Christmas character this year — will also continue. Starting Nov. 19, the store will give away Hey Yeti KakaoTalk emoticons free of charge on a first-come, first-served basis. From Nov. 20 through Nov. 26, a "Christmas Wish Event" on the Lotte Department Store app will offer prizes to customers selected by draw from among those who enter.

"For the last regular sale of the year, we have prepared store-specific winter fashion events and promotions to offer real shopping benefits to customers in Daegu and North Gyeongsang Province," said Yoo Hyeon-gwon, store manager of Lotte Department Store Daegu. "We hope customers will enjoy a wonderful year-end at both the Daegu and Sangin branches alongside the Hey Yeti events."
