Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province has added three more Good Price Stores that provide services below the average price, helping to stabilize prices. As a result, the number of Good Price Stores in Seongnam has increased to 25.

The newly designated Good Price Stores include ▲ a restaurant with hand-cut noodles priced at 6,000 won ▲ a snack bar offering banquet noodles at 6,000 won and gimbap at 3,000 won ▲ and a laundry shop charging 6,000 won for suit dry cleaning.

Seongnam City designates stores as Good Price Stores if they operate personal service businesses such as food service, barber shops, and beauty salons, and the price of their main items does not exceed the average price in the areas of Sujeong, Jungwon, and Bundang.

Starting this year, Seongnam City has increased the designation frequency of Good Price Stores from once to twice a year, carefully reviewing whether the service item prices are below the local average, as well as hygiene and cleanliness, to newly designate or re-designate stores.

In October last year, Seongnam City enacted the "Ordinance on Support and Management of Good Price Stores," providing designated stores with certification plaques, Good Price Store menus, and store supplies such as 80 pieces of 50ℓ volume-based waste bags.

A Seongnam City official stated, "In 2023, we plan to actively discover Good Price Stores that contribute to stabilizing local prices with affordable prices despite the high inflation situation," and urged, "We ask citizens to use Good Price Stores that contribute to stabilizing the local economy frequently."
