Ourhome's buffet brand 'TAKE' has surpassed 60,000 cumulative visitors within 80 days of opening, the company announced Tuesday. The brand will open a second TAKE location in Jamsil in October.

TAKE is a buffet brand built around the concept of a "global food market" bringing together cuisines and cultures from around the world. It opened in May inside Youngpoong Building, connected to Jonggak Station in Jongno-gu, Seoul. According to Ourhome, cumulative visitors have exceeded 60,000, with a daily average of more than 750. From opening day, lunch and dinner peak-hour reservations sold out every day.

Families made up the largest share of customers. Office workers from the Gwanghwamun and Euljiro areas, as well as foreign tourists visiting Insadong and the Cheonggyecheon area, also visited the store. An Ourhome official said customer satisfaction was particularly high for menu items such as monkfish liver, malatang, and Indian curry served with jasmine rice.

Ourhome will open a second TAKE location on the third below-ground floor of Lotte World Adventure in Jamsil in October. The store will span 774 square meters with about 240 seats. Ourhome is currently hiring new and experienced staff for store management, front-of-house service, and food preparation roles, with successful candidates set to join from September.
