Directions: Koo Mart

Koo Mart is a fun trip if you are interested in seeing how things are "done" in Korea. Koo Mart is the local dollar store and it is so different from what just popped in your mind what I said "dollar store". You wouldn't believe what you can get at Koo Mart for 1,000Won. It is large and filled with stuff. Kids can go (there is a small "toy" section"), but there is a lot to see.

To get to Koo Mart:

  • Head North on the Big 1 for about 10 minutes (tops!)
  • As you get to the "Welcome to Osan-Si" sign you will see a big "warehouse-type building" with a KooMart sign off the road on the right. It has a red sign with white letters. Looks a bit like a supermarket or Wal-Mart. It is set back from the road so you will have to look beyond the buildings immediately on the road.
  • Turn right at the light immediately after you see it on the right.
  • Turn right in to the parking lot.

I think the directions should read "Little 1" instead of "Big 1." Big 1 is the freeway you take to Seoul. Little 1 is the smaller road you take to Osan City and to get onto Big 1.
