Closed days
Let’s learn about E-Mart’s closed days. Since the operation is closely related to the lives of people all over the country, there are times when you visit without looking for the closing days and end up in vain.
As the Distribution Industry Development Act was revised, mandatory closure days were stipulated to promote the revitalization of traditional markets and small businesses. We hope that you will not waste your time by visiting without thinking.
Normally, the closing days are Wednesday or Sunday of the 2nd and 4th weeks of each month. The same applies to all large supermarkets (Homeplus, Lotte Mart, Costco, Traders, etc.)
On the day of the holiday, Costco is closed and all large supermarkets are announcing normal business policies.
The exact closing days for each branch are different, such as Wednesdays or Sundays.
Some stores are closed 2 or 3 days a month.
Therefore, if there is a branch you usually use, please check it on the website or app before visiting.
Closed: Second Wednesday or Sunday of every month
