Pork Samgyeopsal Sold for 1,000 Won Range
Up to Half-Price Discounts on Daily Necessities
Lotte Mart announced on the 13th that it will participate in the 'Korea Sale Festa,' known as the Korean version of Black Friday, and run the 'Thank You Day Again' event until the 27th.
Thank You Day Again is a discount event commemorating the 45th anniversary of Lotte Shopping's founding. Since it takes place during the Korea Sale Festa period, Lotte Mart plans to offer unprecedented discount benefits aimed at reducing the burden on consumers' shopping carts.
Representative discounted food items include Korean pork belly and Korean pork neck, which will be sold at up to half price for around 1,000 won. Lotte Mart explained that it started preparing the supply about four months ago for this event, securing approximately 25,000 pigs' worth, about 300 tons, thereby enhancing price competitiveness.
Kimchi-making ingredients will also be sold at discounted prices. In particular, domestic napa cabbage (3 heads, net) will be sold for around 5,000 won through the 'Farmers Discount' event until the 16th. The company explained that the price per head is around 1,000 won, which is 35% cheaper than the market price. Lotte Mart will also offer a 20% discount on bunch radishes until the 20th. Additionally, peeled garlic, peeled green onions, and fresh salted shrimp for kimchi will be sold at discounted prices.
Lotte Mart plans to run the 'Thank You One-Day Special' event concurrently, offering shock-price products daily until the 17th. On the 14th, 'Seasoned Pork King Roast (800g, pack)' will be sold at 50% off when purchasing two or more packs; on the 15th, jujube cherry tomatoes; on the 16th, refrigerated chicken breast; and on the 17th, dumplings will be sold at half price.
During the event period, Lotte Mart will also run promotions such as 'Buy 1 Get 1 Free,' 'Buy 2 Get 1 Free,' and 'Up to 50% off when purchasing two or more' on processed foods and daily necessities. Representative products include 'HBAF Seasoning Almonds,' 'CJ Myungga Gim,' and 'Ryeo Herbal Shampoo & Conditioner.'
Kang Hye-won, head of Lotte Mart and Supermarket Marketing Division, said, "To repay customers' support for Thank You Day during the national shopping festival 'Korea Sale Festa' and to fulfill our role as a large supermarket at the forefront of price stabilization, we prepared this Thank You Day Again event."
