Home Plus, a Korean/British discount store retail chain jointly owned by Samsung and Tesco, opened a 33,000 square meter-fresh product distribution center last Thursday in Anseong, Gyeonggi Province.
With an annual capacity of handling 73,000 boxes of fresh products, the 120 billion won-distribution center will supply products to about 130 Home Plus stores and 100 express stores, located within two hours drive from the center.
