๐ฉ Todayโs article says Homeplus closed all its stores because it ran out of cash.
๐ฆ Did it have no customers?
๐ฉ Fewer customers were part of the problem, but debt and rent used up its money faster.
๐ฆ Are other big stores struggling too?
๐ฉ Yes. Online shopping is hurting them too. But E-Mart has Traders, and Lotte Mart has other businesses and overseas stores.
๐ฆ Why is Costco doing well?
๐ฉ Its idea is very clear: sell large amounts at low prices. It also earns steady money from membership fees.
๐ฆ What did Homeplus lack?
๐ฉ It lacked a strong reason for customers to return, and it did not have enough cash to survive hard times.
๐ฆ Can a big company still stop?
๐ฉ Yes. Size is not enough. A company must keep cash moving every day.
๐ฆ What should Homeplus have done?
๐ฉ It should have kept its strongest stores, reduced debt and rent, and built clear strengths like fresh food and fast local delivery.
๐ฆ So weak sales were not the only problem?
๐ฉ Right. The market was hard for everyone, but companies with better preparation could survive longer.
