[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] These days, as it is difficult to shop in person due to COVID-19, the number of people using online shopping continues to increase.
Dongdaemun-gu (Mayor Yoo Deok-yeol), which has many traditional markets, is following this trend and has launched an ‘Online Traditional Market Shopping’ service to open online sales channels for traditional markets facing economic difficulties due to the impact of COVID-19.
The first place in the region to implement the online traditional market shopping service is Gyeongdong Market.
Gyeongdong Market delivers fresh vegetables, seafood, meat, side dishes, and food items from the youth mall located on the 2nd floor of the Gyeongdong Market new building (such as sandwiches, pork cutlets, rice bowls, and bakery products) within 2 hours to areas within Dongdaemun-gu (excluding Jangan-dong and Imun-dong) when ordered online.
The online Gyeongdong Market shopping site can be accessed by searching ‘Gyeongdong Market Shopping’ on Naver search and then entering the page through the ‘Gyeongdong Market’ banner.
The operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. (excluding holidays), and orders placed on holidays can be delivered by 1 p.m. the next day.
The minimum order amount is 15,000 KRW, and the delivery fee is 4,000 KRW. For more details, please contact the Gyeongdong Market Merchants Association.
