Opening of Guro Market Customer Support Center

Total Floor Area 352㎡, 4 Above-Ground Floors... Delivery Center, Customer Lounge, Merchant Association Office, etc. Established on the 15th

[Asia Economy Reporter Jongil Park] The Guro Market Customer Support Center will open on the 15th.

Guro-gu (District Mayor Lee Seong) announced on the 13th that it will open a Customer Support Center to enhance the convenience of Guro Market merchants and visitors and to help revitalize the market.

Located at 17-4, Gurodong-ro 22-gil, the Guro Market Customer Support Center was built with a total floor area of 352㎡ and consists of four floors above ground. The first floor houses a delivery center and public restrooms, the second and third floors contain the merchants' association office and a multipurpose auditorium, and the fourth floor features a customer lounge.

The maintenance and operation of the Customer Support Center will be managed by the Guro Market Merchants' Association.

To establish the Guro Market Customer Support Center, Guro-gu purchased the building in March last year and carried out remodeling and convenience facility expansion work. A total budget of 1.4 billion KRW (840 million KRW from the central government, 336 million KRW from the city, and 224 million KRW from the district) was invested.

The opening ceremony will be held at 7 p.m. on the third floor of the Customer Support Center. The event will include an unveiling ceremony, progress report, and congratulatory speeches attended by Lee Seong, Guro District Mayor, market merchants, and local residents.

Opened in 1962, Guro Market has long been established as a representative traditional market in the area alongside the development of the Guro Industrial Complex. However, it faced difficulties and lost vitality due to changes such as the decline of the industrial complex and the emergence of large supermarkets.

In response, Guro-gu has been carrying out modernization projects such as signboard and store entrance maintenance, arcade installation, and floor repaving to revive the stagnant commercial district.

A Guro-gu official stated, “With the opening of the Customer Support Center, we expect Guro Market to become more convenient and cleaner,” and added, “We will do our best to support the strengthening of the competitiveness of traditional markets.”
