Gangjin Ogamtong, Store Tenants Confirmed

9 Businesses Including Meokgeori Market to Operate Until December 2023

[Gangjin＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-su] Gangjin-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 8th that it has finalized the tenants for nine stores, including the Gangjin Ogamtong Korean Table d'hote Experience Center, a music cafe, and a food market, and will operate them until December 2023.

As the existing contracts are set to expire on the 30th, the county held the Ogamtong Operations Committee meeting last month to review and approve matters such as contract renewals and general bidding for stores that declined renewal, then notified the parties and issued a call for tenant applications on the 25th of last month.

Since eight existing tenants expressed their intention to renew, their contracts will be extended for two years and six months from July until December 2023.

Additionally, one food market store with a contract period ending on July 31, 2021, declined to renew. To ensure fairness in tenant selection and expand opportunities for other businesses, a highest-bid general auction was conducted, selecting one tenant.

The county will issue usage permits to the eight stores with confirmed renewals after administrative procedures, and will proceed with contracts for the one store awarded through the general auction after qualification screening.

Yoon Sung-il, Director of the Culture and Arts Division, said, “Thanks to the efforts of the tenants, this place has showcased Gangjin’s specialized foods such as Gangjin Korean Table d'hote, Hoechuntang, and our soybean tofu, receiving positive responses from tourists.” He added, “We hope that confirming the tenants of Ogamtong will serve as an opportunity to further develop it as a popular dining course for tourists.”
