PARCO is a Japanese department store group that is part retailer, part landlord – blending its own store space with that of independent retailers.
The newest PARCO opened a few weeks ago in Fukuoka with 27 screens – providing shoppers with promotions, wayfinding and up to date information. That information is updated dynamically from external data sources via software from the Swedish firm DISE.
Not convinced about the escalator ones. Saw this in Seoul in a big Lotte department store and didn’t think it worked, as people have zero time to look and absorb a message.
