[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Gwiyeol] Bibimbap for 5,000 won and coffee for 2,000 won. Is it possible to enjoy both lunch and dessert within just 10,000 won?


It is possible at the ‘Good Price Stores’ designated and managed by Andong City in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, which offer reasonable prices and friendly service.


Recently, due to the sharp rise in prices, a new term combining lunch and inflation, ‘Lunchflation,’ has emerged among office workers.


In this situation, at Good Price Stores, you can have bibimbap for 5,000 won for lunch and coffee for 2,000 won for dessert within 10,000 won. Good Price Stores not only offer affordable prices but also provide clean and pleasant service.


The owner of Good Price Store ‘Gagaso’ (Yongsang-dong) said, “Due to COVID-19, the economy is very difficult and prices have risen a lot, so we maintain prices to offer customers visiting the store a little more affordable option.”


Since designating 13 stores in 2011, Andong City currently operates 26 Good Price Stores. There are 16 restaurants, 6 beauty salons, 3 laundries, and 2 other service businesses.


The city supports Good Price Stores with △ Good Price Store plaques △ customized incentives for each store △ promotion through the website and Kkachi News △ awards for contributors to price stabilization.



An official from Andong City said, "Despite prices rising over 4% for three consecutive months and especially a 5.4% increase in May compared to the same period last year, we express our gratitude to the stores contributing to price stability by offering affordable prices and ask for your continued interest in Good Price Stores.”
