Jeonnam Province has designated additional usage locations for consumer coupons, such as Hanaro Mart and local food stores, to alleviate the inconvenience of rural residents in island and mountainous areas where there are not enough places to use consumer coupons. As a result, the number of locations in Jeonnam where consumer coupons can be used has increased significantly to a total of 178.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 26th, the province has expanded the range of eligible business types for consumer coupon usage by gathering feedback from residents and considering their daily inconveniences. This measure reflects suggestions made during the first meeting between President Lee Jaemyung and provincial governors following his inauguration on August 1.

Previously, consumer coupons could only be used at Hanaro Mart branches located in township areas where there were no similar businesses such as marts, supermarkets, or convenience stores. However, with this new measure, the criteria for usage locations have been relaxed to include towns and townships that may have marts or supermarkets but lack stores selling fresh foods such as meat, vegetables, and fruits, or daily necessities, making it difficult to use consumer coupons.

As a result, the number of Hanaro Mart branches in Jeonnam where consumer coupons can be used has increased from 14 to 141, and the number of local food direct sales stores, which help expand sales channels for local agricultural products, has grown from 3 to 37.

The list of Hanaro Mart branches and local food direct sales stores where consumer coupons can be used is available in the notice section of the Jeonnam Province website.

This expansion of usage locations is expected to greatly improve the convenience for local residents, allowing them to purchase essential goods in their daily lives and significantly increasing their satisfaction.

Jeonnam Province believes that early use of consumer coupons will have a significant effect on helping small business owners recover sales, promoting consumption of local agricultural products, and stabilizing residents' livelihoods. The province also expects that the more early usage spreads, the more residents will feel an improvement in the local economy, accelerating the recovery of the people's livelihood economy. Therefore, Jeonnam Province is actively encouraging residents to use their consumer coupons as soon as possible.

Seo Eunsu, Director of the Job Investment and Attraction Bureau of Jeonnam Province, said, "We welcome the expansion of usage locations so that residents can use consumer coupons more conveniently," adding, "We will do our best to spread a culture of increased consumption so that the local economy can regain its vitality."
