Various consumer attraction events will be continuously held, including a customer point system where 10% of the purchase amount is accumulated, special discount events with prices more than 30% cheaper than market prices, family-oriented experience events (hand sanitizer, sangria, agricultural product harvesting experience, etc.), flea markets, and on-site prize events.

Governor Lee Cheol-woo attended the opening ceremony and said, "I hope that selling at affordable prices to urban consumers here will help increase farmers' income and stabilize household prices for city residents."
