Homeplus, a major South Korean retailer, is set to reopen 67 stores nationwide on July 13, following a temporary closure. These stores have been operating in a preliminary state since July 7 for final operational checks and necessary improvements.

To entice customers back, Homeplus is rolling out a significant discount event. My Homeplus members will enjoy up to a 50% discount on all Korean beef products for four days starting July 13. On July 14, the popular "Dangdang Fried Chicken" will be available for half price at 3,490 won (approximately $2.50 USD), with a limit of one per customer (excluding the Seogwipo branch and online sales).

Further promotions include a 40% discount on Korean pork belly and neck cuts, priced at 1980 won per 100 grams. Throughout the promotion period, which extends until the end of August, popular food items such as meat, seafood, fruits, beverages, deli products, and bakery items will be offered at up to 50% off or with "buy one, get one free" deals.

We ask for your patronage so that Homeplus, a facility vital to national life, can stand up again.

Of the 67 reopening stores, 59 will also resume online sales, with exceptions for eight specific branches including Asiad, Namdaegu, Samcheok, Boryeong, Ochang, Songtan, Gangneung, and Guwol. A Homeplus representative urged public support, stating, "We ask for your patronage so that Homeplus, a facility vital to national life, can stand up again." The company pledged to reward customers with high-quality products at affordable prices.

Coinciding with the reopening, several political parties, including the Democratic Party, the Justice Party, the Progressive Party, and the Social Democratic Party, along with the "Homeplus Revival Joint Countermeasures Committee," are scheduled to hold a press conference and launch a "shopping campaign" at the Homeplus Gangseo branch in Seoul on the morning of July 13.

We will reward customers who visit us with good quality products at low prices.
