CU is hosting the 'Summer Flex' event, offering unprecedented scale and exceptional benefits.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chunhan] CU announced on the 28th that it will hold a 'Summer Flex' event offering unprecedented scale and exceptional benefits to welcome the peak summer season.

The event features a total of about 1,500 products, which is nearly half of the approximately 3,000 products operated per store on average. In particular, the 'N items for M won' promotion method, previously applied only to beer, will be expanded to other product categories. Additionally, customers can enjoy overlapping benefits of gift promotions and payment discounts, and the existing 1+1 and 2+1 offers will be expanded to 3+2 gift promotions.

Eleven types of coffee, including Master 500ml, and three types of non-alcoholic beer are sold at 5,000 won when purchasing four items. For coffee, this means buying at half price, from 2,500 won each to 1,250 won each. Eight types of cup rice and eight types of porridge are also sold at a maximum 48% discount, with four and five items respectively priced at 10,000 won.

Large-sized PET beverages such as Pepsi Cola, Sprite, Milkis, Oran-C 1.5 liters, and Toreta 900ml are offered in a 1+1 promotion. Additionally, customers who pay with Naver Pay or BC Paybook by the 4th of next month (limited to 20,000 items) will receive an overlapping 50% discount. With all benefits applied, two 1.5-liter bottles of Pepsi Cola can be purchased at a total discount of 75% for 1,450 won.

The ice cream discount event has also expanded its product range. Throughout next month, 16 popular ice cream flavors including Cookies & Cream, Hodumaru, and Wild Body will be sold at a discounted price of 400 won each when purchasing five or more.

A BGF Retail official said, “As a participating brand in the Korea Together Sale, CU plans to hold bold events every month to invigorate the domestic economy and reduce customers’ financial burdens amid the steep price increases following COVID-19.”
