This event was planned to create a safe traditional market environment where local residents can visit with peace of mind, and to establish a virtuous cycle model of coexistence that induces customer attraction and serves as an opportunity to revitalize the local economy.

Hwang Haebeom, Vice President of the Daegu Merchants Association, said, “We expect that Homeplus’s coexistence activities based on over 25 years of distribution experience will greatly help strengthen the competitiveness of traditional markets.”

Homeplus also supports expanding sales channels for traditional market products. It has set up a dedicated store selling products from Bongdeoksin Market’s rice cake shop at the Homeplus Namdaegu branch to provide sales channels, while easing entry fees to support local small business owners.

A Homeplus official stated, “As part of our ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) management activities, we are continuously exploring ways to grow together with traditional markets,” adding, “By continuously practicing coexistence and cooperation, we will contribute to the development of the local economy.”
