Check Local Convenience Store Closing Product Information on Danggeun Market

Business Agreement with GS Retail for the Convenience of Local Residents

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Local lifestyle community Danggeun Market (co-CEOs Kim Yong-hyun and Kim Jae-hyun) announced on the 9th that it has signed a business agreement (MOU) with GS Retail to revitalize local communities. The two companies plan to collaborate so that local residents nationwide using Danggeun Market can enjoy various benefits at GS25 and GS The Fresh (GS Supermarket), among others.

Danggeun Market focused on the closing products of convenience stores or supermarkets that appear at the end of the day. It is about finding owners for fresh foods, lunch boxes, snacks, beverages, etc., before their expiration dates. The two companies plan to quickly notify Danggeun Market users about closing product information and enable residents in need of these products to purchase them at discounted prices at nearby convenience stores or markets. It is also expected to create environmental improvement effects by reducing resource waste.

This service will start in the second quarter within the 'Near Me' category of the Danggeun Market app, beginning with relatively short shelf-life convenience foods such as lunch boxes and triangular kimbap, and gradually expanding the product range. The participating stores include about 15,000 GS Retail locations such as GS25, GS The Fresh, and Lalavla.

Additionally, the two companies plan to build a service through Danggeun Market that provides job information for GS Retail stores nationwide. They aim to offer and connect recruitment and job-seeking information for GS Retail offline stores to local residents, contributing to job creation and economic revitalization within the community.

Starting with this GS Retail partnership, Danggeun Market plans to expand the service to allow checking the remaining quantities of near-expiration foods at neighborhood bakeries, side dish shops, and connect them with residents in need. Kwon Soon-woo, head of Danggeun Market’s New Business Team, said, "We formed this partnership to provide useful information for daily life by linking with key local platforms such as convenience stores and supermarkets frequently visited by neighborhood residents, and to contribute to environmental protection. We will strive to expand various collaborations and services starting with this win-win agreement with GS Retail to provide meaningful help to local communities."
