First, the two companies plan to integrate the eco-friendly delivery brokerage platform 'Our Neighborhood Delivery' with Ediya Coffee’s delivery system by September. When consumers order Ediya Coffee through the delivery platform, the delivery information will be sent to GS25 franchise stores, and for short-distance orders, customers can choose Our Neighborhood Delivery to have general pedestrian couriers deliver the products.

GS Retail expects that 'Uchin' (general couriers) from Our Neighborhood Delivery will promptly handle Ediya Coffee’s short-distance orders, enhancing consumer satisfaction while reducing delivery cost burdens for franchise stores, thereby contributing to the activation of delivery orders and increased profits. Furthermore, expanding the eco-friendly pedestrian delivery service area will accelerate ESG management practices such as carbon emission reduction.

A GS Retail representative stated, "This collaboration with Ediya Coffee will serve as a foundation for activating delivery services between the two companies and for various future synergistic activities. We will continue to expand the partnership scope of Our Neighborhood Delivery to establish a virtuous cycle that strengthens the competitiveness of the delivery brokerage platform and partner companies while realizing customer satisfaction."
