Delivery Express Rolls Out Phase 2 Regional Expansion...Suwon Mom Cafe and Small Business Association Sign Agreement

[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] 'Delivery Express' has joined hands with the Suwon regional community to expand its service.

Gyeonggi-do Company announced on the 23rd that it signed a 'Business Agreement for Promotion and Activation of Gyeonggi-do Public Delivery App' with 'Suwon Moms Gather Here', a mom cafe in the Suwon area, and the Suwon branch of the Small Business Association.

In addition to the Suwon regional community, the signing ceremony was attended by Suwon City Councilors Choi Chan-min and Lee Byung-suk, who discussed the direction and success of 'Delivery Express' and pledged to join forces.

The communities participating in this agreement plan to actively engage in promotional activities for the successful establishment of 'Delivery Express' in the Suwon area going forward.

In particular, when 'Delivery Express' launched service in pilot areas last December, it received significant help in market settlement through the active efforts of mom cafes and small business associations in the pilot areas.

'Suwon Moms Gather Here', the mom cafe now partnering, is a large community with approximately 290,000 members and is expected to provide substantial support for the market establishment of 'Delivery Express' in the future.

'Delivery Express', which began service in Hwaseong, Osan, and Paju last December, has successfully established itself in the market by offering consumer benefits through regional currency and providing low commission rates to franchise owners, despite initial concerns.

Currently, it has surpassed 166,000 registered members and total transaction volume of approximately 8 billion won. (As of February 21, 2021)

This year, to expand service to a total of 28 Gyeonggi-do municipalities including pilot areas, the company is concentrating on franchise registration and infrastructure setup, tightening its belt once more and pressing forward.

Lee Seok-hun, CEO of Gyeonggi-do Company, said, "Thanks to the support of the province, local governments, and local communities, 'Delivery Express', which launched last year, was able to successfully establish itself in the market," and added, "Gyeonggi-do Company and local communities will cooperate to do our best in expanding 'Delivery Express' service."

Choi Chan-min, Suwon City Councilor, said, "In these difficult times, small business owners need both fish and the means to catch fish," and pledged, "We will actively help 'Delivery Express' become a way for small business owners to catch fish."

Lee Byung-suk, Suwon City Councilor, also stated, "We are grateful for the active franchise recruitment already taking place in Suwon, and we will all join forces for the success of 'Delivery Express' going forward."

Song Chul-jae, chairman of the Suwon branch of the Small Business Association, said, "I believe 'Delivery Express' will be of great help at this time when all small business owners are on the brink of closure," while Yang Jung-hee, representative of 'Suwon Moms Gather Here', promised, "We will actively promote to ensure that it benefits small business owners."
