Much of the text in the article is suspiciously verbatim identical to that of Hi-Living and Jeonja Land (including the bit about kidneys), which were added by the same user...therefore, I'm removing practically all unsourced information from the article. wikipediatrix 20:22, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi-Mart is notable.

Hi-Mart is a significant chain of electronics stores. Even in a relatively small (120,000) city like Nonsan, it is present - and one of the two large electronic stores in town (along with Samsung). (I'm not saying this because I like this chain - I don't particularly - but because it is significant in the Korean commercial landscape.) "In 1999, the annual revenue growth reachedover 50%, recording 820 billion won in revenue" and over 20% market share (kr.bea.com/case_studies/HiMartR2.pdf ).

Date founded

I have two conflicting dates regarding the year Hi-Mart was created : On this stub, it says it was created in 1993. But on this Reuters article, it says it was created in 1987. I am keeping the 2 dates for the moment (despite the dissonance), but if someone knows the correct year, your contribution is welcomed. --Qwacker (talk) 22:38, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have yet another year according to another source: it says on this WSJ article that the company was created out of a spin off from Daewoo in... 1999 !! --Qwacker (talk) 22:48, 7 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
