Selling Hanwoo and Samgyeopsal Cheaply... AK Plaza Holds 'Yukyuk Market' for 66th Anniversary Celebration

[Asia Economy Reporter Cha Min-young] AK Plaza announced on the 25th that it will hold a ‘Yukyuk Market’ to celebrate the 66th anniversary of the founding of the Aekyung Group, selling Korean beef, pork, chicken, and more at affordable prices. This also signifies support for livestock farmers who have faced difficulties with offline direct sales due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

First, the relay sales will begin from the 5th of next month at the food halls of AK Plaza’s Bundang, Suwon, and Pyeongtaek branches. On the 5th, 1st-grade Korean beef sirloin (total 300kg) will be sold at 6,600 KRW per 100g; on the 6th, two packs of chicken for stir-frying will be offered for 6,600 KRW; and on the 7th, pork belly (total 400kg) will be sold at 1,660 KRW per 100g. Customers who purchase livestock products at the Yukyuk Market will receive one pack of ‘Bibigo Beef Bone Soup’ at the service desk on a first-come, first-served basis. Prior to this, the seafood corners at each branch will sell Black Tiger shrimp (10 pieces per pack) for 6,600 KRW until the 28th of this month.

Meanwhile, AK Plaza has been conducting anniversary events across all its branches and affiliates since the 22nd. The first 6,600 department store visitors received ‘Aekyung Industry Labsin Hand Sanitizing Tissues’ on a first-come, first-served basis, and customers who purchased over 100,000 KRW with an AK Card were given an ‘Aekyung Industry Labsin Hand Sanitizer Set’ as a gift. As part of the ‘Aekyung Industry Representative Brand Special Sale,’ the food hall event venues at each store will sell 2080 Complete Toothpaste (3 packs) for 1,990 KRW, Sunssem Kitchen Detergent (1.2L) for 1,800 KRW, Kerasis Perfume Shampoo (600ml) for 3,500 KRW, and Riqua (2L, 2 packs) for 6,900 KRW until the 28th of this month. Additionally, as a bonus product event, Kerasis Clinic Shampoo (600g, buy 1 get 1) and Shower Mate (900g, buy 1 get 1) will be sold in limited quantities for 6,600 KRW.

Lee Jun-young, AK Plaza’s livestock buyer, said, “Recently, many livestock farmers have seen a decrease in their business partners,” and added, “We will continue to pay attention to supporting the consumption of livestock products at department stores.”
