The contents of this business agreement include ▲ adjustment of the leased area of Lotte Mart Guri Branch ▲ deduction of maintenance fees after preliminary facility repairs ▲ participation of local construction companies from Guri City in Lotte Mart facility repair works ▲ priority hiring of Guri citizens when recruiting new employees ▲ promotion of a win-win agreement with the Guri City Merchants Association.

To prepare for the opening at the end of May, Lotte Mart Guri Branch completed the temporary wall construction for facility demolition starting from the 13th of last month. Currently, the installation of the on-site office is underway, followed by planned facility demolition and interior and exterior renovation works.

Mayor Baek Kyung-hyun of Guri City stated during dialogues with Guri citizens held until last week, “The re-attraction of Lotte Mart was selected as the number one news item among the top 10 news stories of Guri City in 2024, and it was confirmed that citizens have shown great interest in the opening schedule. Due to the absence of a large supermarket, citizens had to shop in nearby Namyangju or Seoul, which must have been very inconvenient. We expect that these issues will be completely resolved once Lotte Mart reopens, and the city will do its best to provide administrative support to ensure the reopening proceeds smoothly.”
