After a pilot operation, the hall is scheduled to open sequentially starting June 2026, marking the 10th anniversary of Honorary Chairman Pungnim Ham Tae-ho's passing, with an official opening planned for January 2028. It will be developed as a space for the citizens of Anyang and the general public.

An Ottogi official stated, "The Ottogi Memorial Hall is a space created to record and preserve Ottogi's proud history of contributing to the improvement of human dietary life and to promote and inherit the noble spirit of Honorary Chairman Ham Tae-ho," adding, "We intend to use it as a place of learning and empathy about food for many people, including the citizens of Anyang."
