The outlet franchise is an affiliate of E-Land Group, which is also running another outlet chain, NewCore Outlet. The company operates product shops and the outlet and retail chain of Korean department stores. In addition to its Korean operations, the company also operates business establishments in Seoul, Incheon, Gyeonggi-do and other Korea local chains.

The laidies wanted to take a trip to this outlet today because this is one of the few places that have Christmas stuff. So I took a few pictures! Enjoy!

This lunchen was a very big deal here.  Only a few were chosen to eat lunch with Mrs. Preston while her husband eat lunch with the soldiers. (I got to be one of the few - yay!!)   Before we went to luch we had a get together at the PBC where all the wives cooked a little something for Mrs. Preston.
