GS25 Supports Entrepreneurship for Military Veterans... "Franchise Fee Waiver of 2.2 Million KRW"

On the 25th, a military soldier is making a purchase at the GS25 convenience store located in the Armed Forces Capital Hospital branch.

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] GS25 announced on the 25th that starting next month, it will provide a benefit of waiving 2.2 million KRW out of the 7.7 million KRW franchise fee for franchise owners who open convenience stores within one year after completing their military service.

The benefit applies to all male and female reservists from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, regardless of rank, including officers, non-commissioned officers, and enlisted soldiers. Eligible applicants must present a military service verification document (discharge certificate) when applying to franchise GS25.

Since 2010, GS Retail has operated about 300 stores in Navy PXs and Air Force bases, supplying products even to remote island areas such as Baengnyeongdo and Eocheongdo, thereby enhancing the welfare of military personnel and fulfilling its role as a public service network. Starting this month, GS25 opened a hybrid store combining staffed and unmanned operations within the Armed Forces Capital Hospital, the military's top medical institution, providing convenience for soldiers and patients.

A GS Retail official said, "GS Retail has built a long-standing trust relationship with the military to improve the consumption welfare of soldiers who dedicate themselves to the country. Moving forward, we will further contribute to improving the startup environment for young people who have completed their military service, thereby strengthening ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management."
