Shopping in Jinju

I'm not much a fan of shopping, so I don't know many shops in Jinju. But here's brief information about shopping in Jinju. 

1. Galleria (Department store)

First off, people usually go downtown to get some clothes and stuff. Around Daean-dong, many clothes and shoes shops are lined up along streets. I personally prefer to go to Galleria because I don't like to move around different places in the sun.

Address: 195 Pyeongan-dong Jinju-si Gyeongsangnam-do

Operating Hours: 10:30-20:00

2. Rodeo street (Pedestrianized street 차없는 거리)

If you like unbranded stuff, there are many shops in Rodeo Street or the main roads. I guess you will encounter more brand shops than unbranded ones, but it's quite interesting to stroll around to find a local shop selling cute clothing. Frankly speaking, however, Jinju's Rodeo street is not that distinctive. But occasionally you will also be able to see some groups of people perform there, or conduct a campaign. 

Shops on Rodeo Streets

- Uni Qlo, Nike, New Balance, Top 10, etc

- ABC mart, Les More

- other general clothing and shoe stores

3. MODA Outlet

Last year, a large shopping complex opened in a suburban area called Jeongchon-myeon. MODA is the biggest one with more than 150 brand shops, and on the huge shopping complex are also some other outlet shops like Orange Factory or LF Fashion. So I think if you have a car, MODA is the best place to buy clothes for less at the moment (a bigger outlet is under construction in Innovation City). The price ranges are average I guess. And it has larger collection of last season clothes than any other places in the downtown area, so chances are you can get the sizes you want.

If you fancy shopping in a traditional market, visit to Jinju Joong-ang Market in downtown. Most clothes shops are usually for older people, but a few shops like Seoul Apparel(서울의류) have clothes for younger people too. In addition to clothes, there are lots of interesting things to see like a food street, creative handmade lanterns and so on.

5. Underground shopping mall

In downtown, there's an  underground shopping center. Unfortunately, all the shops are closed now for renovation, which is expected to begin soon. 

Under construction

6. Home Plus Jinju Branch

Home plus Jinju branch is technically a supermarket, but it has outlet-like clothes shops on its first and second floors. I guess it's good to look around briefly when you go grocery shopping there. On the 8th floor there is also a public bath and a gym.
