Kkumteul Store is a youth startup support system provided by Osan City to lower the entry barriers to entrepreneurship and enhance success capabilities by alleviating the burden of rent during the early stages of business. To this end, the city offers startup spaces for Kkumteul Stores from 3 months up to a maximum of 1 year.

Gyeommidang aims to provide both health and taste simultaneously, mainly selling rice cakes and rice desserts, and plans to conduct one-day cooking classes as well.

In November of last year, the city prepared a Kkumteul Store within Osan Market, completed interior work, and after a tenant recruitment process in December of the same year, selected Gyeommidang as the tenant business.

In addition to the startup space, the city plans to provide Gyeommidang with ▲promotion through various media ▲participation in various local events and projects ▲one-on-one customized consulting opportunities.

Previously, last year, the city placed the Kkumteul Store 'Saladrang' in the Hanshin University shopping district.

Lee Gwon-jae, Mayor of Osan City, said, "I hope that the Kkumteul Store will not only become a success opportunity for many young people in Osan but also serve as a catalyst for revitalizing the local commercial district."
