Lotte Shopping operates Korea's largest department store chain and the second-largest hypermarket chain in Korea.[5] Lotte runs a home appliance retailer by acquiring Hi-Mart for 1.25 trillion won in 2012. Hi-Mart was the nation's top consumer electronics retailer, with 314 stores.[6] Lotte Shopping also had the multiplex cinema chain Lotte Cinema under its wing but decided to spin off the cinema business department as a subsidiary, Lotte Cultureworks, in 2018.[7]

Lotte Shopping also runs its retail business in the Southeast Asian market, including Vietnam and Indonesia.[8] Lotte Shopping once operated five department stores and 99 discount stores in the mainland China market. However, after South Korea deployed THAAD in a golf course owned by the Lotte Group, the company withdrew its retail business from China as it failed to recover from a boycott campaign.[9][10][11]
