Seven Eleven Provides Daily Necessities Support in Daegu Area

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Hye-seon] Convenience store 7-Eleven announced on the 12th that it will support daily necessities to the Daegu region, which is struggling due to the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

Starting from the 13th, 7-Eleven will collect a portion of the sales revenue from Seven Cafe sold for one month to organize donation items and donate them to the Daegu branch of the Korean Red Cross.

The donation items will consist of essential daily necessities such as wet wipes and cup noodles, and will be delivered to about 10 hospitals in the Daegu area to support the medical staff working on the front lines of COVID-19.

7-Eleven planned this donation to provide some help to the Daegu medical staff who are working day and night to prevent the spread of COVID-19 despite difficult circumstances.

Meanwhile, 7-Eleven is implementing various support measures for local communities struggling due to COVID-19. Last month, all stores in the Daegu and Gyeongbuk regions sold 10 essential daily necessities such as bottled water, ramen, and tissues at a 20-30% discount. This month, through the 7-Eleven mobile application 'Seven App,' major daily necessities are being sold nationwide at a 20% discount via pre-order.

In addition, 7-Eleven is operating support measures for franchise owners who are having difficulties operating stores due to the impact of COVID-19. For stores closed due to COVID-19, 7-Eleven provides 100% disposal support for food products such as lunch boxes, and upon the owner's request, allows flexible operation of business hours or temporary closure.
