The "Good Price Store" program, introduced by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety in 2011, is a system in which city and county governments evaluate and designate businesses that contribute to local price stability by offering high-quality services at more reasonable prices compared to neighboring establishments. Eligible businesses include those closely related to daily life, such as restaurants, beauty salons, and laundromats.


The city explained that the new selections were made through a comprehensive evaluation of various indicators, including not only price levels but also hygiene and cleanliness, as well as community engagement.


Designated businesses receive a certification plaque, incentives worth 800,000 won per year, and support for various promotional activities both online and offline.


Jung Hogi, Director of Economic Affairs for Siheung City, stated, "We will work to reduce the management burden for each business designated as a Good Price Store and enhance citizen satisfaction through continuous management and support."



The list of Good Price Stores can be found on the "Job Economy Portal → Siheung Economy → Living Information" bulletin board on the Siheung City Hall website.
