Haenam-gun, Completion Ceremony of the Clean and Renewed Maeil Market

Becoming a Leading Traditional Market Sought Nationwide

Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do, will hold a completion ceremony for Haenam Maeil Market on the 28th. The market consists of a newly constructed two-story building with 58 stores on the first floor, 6 youth mall stores, and 1 general restaurant on the second floor, totaling 70 stores.

According to the county on the 24th, the modernization project for Maeil Market began in 2015. Construction of the new market building started in 2021, and the construction was completed by the end of last year, just over a year later. The market received completion approval on the 4th of last month, and the stores have been fully occupied, with the market operating successfully.

In addition to the existing agricultural and marine products, fresh fruits and vegetables, dried seafood, snack bars, and fried chicken shops, many new types of stores such as crafts, cosmetics, bakery and confectionery, and workshops have moved in, making the market richer and reborn as a market with a youthful vibe.

Through reconstruction, the market has been transformed into a modern facility where visitors can shop comfortably and leisurely, featuring a high ceiling with sunshade facilities that allow good sunlight and ventilation, uniform signage, and wide walkways.

The completion ceremony is organized to widely promote the renewed appearance of Maeil Market and to create an opportunity to revitalize the market.

Additionally, following the completion ceremony, as part of the event "February is the Month to Visit Maeil Market," various events such as an auction, fried Makgeolli party, busking performances, and voucher raffles will be held.

The county is promoting various events to revitalize Maeil Market, including spring and summer night markets, shopping events for the Chuseok holiday, Christmas tree events, and is also advancing a green garden market creation project linked with Haenam-style ESG initiatives.

A county official said, "We ask for much interest and patronage of Haenam Maeil Market, which welcomes visitors with a new look and friendly service," and added, "Together with the Maeil Market Merchants Association, we will plan and carry out various events and projects to develop it into a representative traditional market visited by many people not only from the county but nationwide."
