Joeten store launches ‘Teen Corner’ at Susupe branch

  Joeten Shopping Center has opened a new section at its Susupe location, catering to the hip and fashionable teenagers and pre-teens on Saipan.

Teen Corner, which carries a wide range of styles for the younger crowd, was officially opened to the public last Friday.

The idea of putting together a section specially meant for adolescents came about as the popular retailer took on the daunting task of arranging their clothing merchandise.

“What we’re trying to work on in the store is kind of organizing things more and spreading out clothing and we wanted to dedicate a section to the teens so we saw this as an opportunity to make changes,” said marketing manager Frannie Demapan yesterday.

Demapan, who came on board in October, said they want their patrons to know that the Joeten Shopping Center in Susupe carries fashionable clothing for teens and pre-teens at reasonable prices.

Teen Corner offers an array of clothes and outfits, including tops, dresses, shorts, pants, undergarments, and formal wear. It also provides a selection of accessories like bags, wallets, and footwear in different styles, colors, and textures.

“We are a one-stop shopping location,” Demapan told Saipan Tribune. “You can come here for clothing but you can leave with shoes, underwear, even gifts for other members of the family. They can find everything they need right here.”

Demapan noted that their prices are highly competitive, with only some of the items a bit more expensive as they are made in the U.S. mainland “so we have to adjust to that.”

“But during sale days, our prices are pretty decent,” she added.

In fact, Demapan said they also opened a clearance corner next to Bestseller for those who are looking for great deals and bargains for men, women, teens, and babies this holiday.

“They can go there and all our items are 50 to 75 percent off,” she said.

Demapan said that Joeten goes on a bulk buying trip several times a year so customers can expect to see different styles as often as they want. “I just want people to know that we’re still expanding it,” she said. “We’re always adding new items and.people should check in every week with us.”

Demapan, who once taught at Kagman High School, added that she will have the hottest trends in fashion when she acquires new stocks for their next shipment early next year.

While the Teen Corner is dedicated exclusively for teens and pre-teens, Demapan pointed out that the Joeten Shopping Center appeals to shoppers of all ages.

With the holidays just around the corner, Demapan disclosed that they will host a Christmas Fashion Show at their Susupe location on Dec. 17 at 7pm to give patrons a chance to view the latest trends.

“We’re currently looking for models for men, women, teens, pre-teens, toddlers, and plus sizes. We’d like them to come showcase our clothing. They’ll be rewarded with a gift certificate and a clothing of their choice,” she said.

Those who are interested to join can stop by the Joeten Susupe and ask for Demapan.

“We invite all teens to come and check out our new Teen Corner. We always have sales clerks who’d be more than happy to assist you and get you your size or another style,” she said.
