According to the county on December 1, the opening ceremony was attended by County Governor Kwon Ikhyeon, local farmers, suppliers, and residents of Byeonsan-myeon, who gathered to celebrate the launch of a new local food hub.

The newly opened Gyeokpo Branch, which spans 170 pyeong (approximately 562 square meters), is designed to leverage the foot traffic from visitors to the Byeonsan and Gyeokpo tourist areas. It not only secures stable sales channels for local farmers but also allows them to directly offer and sell a variety of local food products-such as fresh and trustworthy agricultural produce, ready-to-eat meals, and processed goods-produced by the region's farms to tourists.

This initiative goes beyond being a simple retail facility; it is expected to serve as a tourism-oriented local food platform that naturally connects tourist demand with regional agricultural products, thereby strengthening the Buan Local Food brand and making a significant contribution to revitalizing the local economy.

In his commemorative address, County Governor Kwon Ikhyeon stated, "I hope the Gyeokpo Branch will become a place of mutual prosperity, connecting farmers and consumers, as well as the local community and tourists." He added, "We will continue to pursue policies that strengthen the local food foundation, further expanding the virtuous cycle model of agriculture, the local economy, and tourism."
