Sejong-si, Recruiting New ‘Good Price Stores’ Contributing to Price Stability

[Asia Economy (Sejong) Reporter Jeong Il-woong] Sejong City announced on the 2nd that it is recruiting new 'Good Price Businesses' that have contributed to price stabilization until the 31st of this month.

Applicants must be businesses in the personal service sectors such as restaurants, beauty salons, and laundry services located within the region.

Businesses designated as Good Price Businesses will receive incentives such as the issuance of certification plaques, production of promotional materials, a 20% discount on water utility charges (limited to businesses using individual meters), and quarterly support for volume-based waste bags and consumables.

Currently, there are 35 designated Good Price Businesses in the area, including 29 restaurants and 3 beauty salons.

The city plans to increase the number of designated businesses to up to 40, including existing ones, through on-site inspections and evaluations of applicants. Additionally, if there are many applicants, further recruitment will be conducted in the second half of this year.

Conversely, if any designated business is found to be ineligible in terms of price, hygiene, quality, or service during a comprehensive inspection, their Good Price Business designation may be revoked.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the application form from the city's website notice board, filling it out, and submitting it by mail or fax with a copy of the business registration certificate, or by visiting the responsible department (Economic Policy Division) in person.

Lee Chun-hee, Mayor of Sejong City, said, "We appreciate the Good Price Businesses that contribute to price stabilization with reasonable prices despite the COVID-19 situation," and added, "We hope for much interest and applications for new designations this year."
