The participating businesses include Gungjeon Bakery, Bebier, Yangdong Covered Market, Yongbong-dong Fashion Street, and Bongseon Market.
The businesses that signed the Sharing Sale agreement plan to hold special discount events ranging from 5% to a maximum of 18% from the 15th to the 19th, during the 5·18 Memorial Week.
Gwangju City will lead the purchase of products from participating businesses starting with public officials, support through promotion, and welcome visitors to May Gwangju coming from all over the country.
Lee Sang-gap, Deputy Mayor of Culture and Economy, said, “This agreement will be a turning point in practicing the Gwangju spirit,” and added, “I hope the Sharing Sale expands further and the sales of participating businesses increase significantly.”
