The "Gugu Rest Area" is located on the first floor of a commercial building within Namguro Market (Guro-dong 730-119). It has a total area of 53.2㎡ and is equipped with desks, chairs, washbasins, heating and cooling facilities, and a nursery room, as well as a collection of about 1,300 diverse books.

To provide customer convenience facilities at Namguro Market, Guro-gu secured the space last year with an investment of about 600 million KRW and carried out facility construction this year with a budget of 70 million KRW.

The Gugu Rest Area is entrusted and operated by the Namguro Market Merchants Association. To prevent COVID-19, the capacity is limited to less than 50%, and an entry log is maintained. A manager is designated to comply with quarantine rules such as ventilation, mask-wearing, and temperature checks.

As of 2020, there are 203 stores operating in Namguro Market.

On the 20th, Guro-gu held an opening ceremony with only a minimal number of attendees, including Mayor Lee Seong and Namguro Market Merchants Association President Lee Heesul.

A Guro-gu official said, "A rest area has been created in Namguro Market, where there was no proper resting space," and added, "We will support visitors and merchants so that they can use it comfortably and safely."
