Retail tech company Curly announced on the 1st that sales of each series have doubled compared to the same period last year due to unabated shopping cart prices.
‘Jegak’, launched in June of last year, is Market Curly’s own brand of so-called ugly vegetables that may look a bit rough, but have no problems with taste and quality. Featuring generous portions and reasonable prices, it introduces a total of about 20 types of colorful vegetables, including eggplant, zucchini, mushrooms, carrots, and peeled garlic, which are commonly used in everyday life.
As shopping cart prices rise this summer, consumers are showing a tendency to look for cost-effective products. Over the three months from July 1st to the end of October, the sales volume of the ‘Different’ product group sold on Market Kurly approximately doubled compared to the same period last year.
Sales of vegetables, which were particularly prone to rising prices, were the highest. Sales of green lettuce and red lettuce, which were called ‘golden cabbage’ along with Chinese cabbage, increased more than 15 times. Sales of vegetables such as carrots, cucumbers, radishes, and garlic also surged.
‘KF365’, which sells shopping cart essential products at the best price, also saw an increase in sales. In particular, as the seafood category diversified its product range, sales volume increased 2.4 times. Sales of clams and abalone, which can be enjoyed as living creatures at home, also increased.
