The Last Chance Convenience Store

By Kim Ho-yeon

The much anticipated sequel to the million-copy international bestselling debut The Second Chance Convenience Store.

Welcome back to the store where everyone has a story.

The Second Chance Convenience Store is open again.

After captivating millions of readers worldwide, The Second Chance Convenience Store is back with a delightful sequel that's just as moving and full of heart as the original. In The Last Chance Convenience Store, Ho-yeon Kim invites us once again into the comforting glow of a neighborhood store where laughter, struggles, and second chances converge into one poignant tale.

A year-and-a-half has passed. The world has changed--and so has the Always convenience store in Cheongpa-dong. Now under the mask-wearing reality of a pandemic, the store is run by Seon-suk, a once-frustrated mother turned steady manager, and Min-sik, a reluctant leader more concerned with profits than people.

But when a new night worker arrives--Hwang Geun-bae, a clumsy yet endearing man in his forties who prefers to go by the name "Hong Sam-bo"--the convenience store begins to transform once again. With a loud voice, a meddlesome streak, and a heart full of unexpected kindness, he brings both chaos and comfort to those around him.

Blending sharp wit, gentle humor, and emotional depth, this sequel reminds us that no one is too lost for a second chance--and sometimes, healing starts in the most ordinary of places.
