Beautiful Store, Suwon

Have been going to the Beautiful Store ( Yeongtong branch) every Saturday for 4 hours of volunteering. It has been about two months now. Some people are quite surprised to see a foreigner as volunteer, though!

The whole concept of Beautiful store is quite amazing. Donated items being the mainstay of the stores with the store manager being the only paid person for each store is quite a novel business model. Probably the success of the Beautiful Store in Korea has a lot to do with the fact that Koreans donate a lot of used items and the condition of the donated items are quite good.

I feel happy to give suggestions for better sale and am pleasantly surprised to see them work!
