Gyeonggi Province's 'Delivery Express' to Launch in Suwon, a City of Over 1 Million Population, Starting in April

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Park No-hoon] Gyeonggi Province Co., Ltd. announced that starting April 1st, it will officially launch Delivery Express service in Suwon and Pocheon cities.

With this, residents in 9 municipalities across the province will be able to use the Delivery Express service.

As of late last month, Suwon's population stands at approximately 1.18 million people, and Pocheon's at approximately 140,000, with the launch of Delivery Express service expected to secure a significant number of new customers.

At the same time, it is expected to provide substantial relief to small business owners.

In particular, Suwon is recognized as the first city with a population of over 1 million that Delivery Express will enter, and it is considered an ideal stage to demonstrate the region-specialized and close-contact service expertise that Delivery Express has accumulated since December last year.

Currently, approximately 3,900 affiliated stores have completed opening in Suwon, and approximately 440 in Pocheon. With low commission rates and benefits from discounts linked to regional currency, it is anticipated that the service will receive strong support from small business owners and consumers in the respective areas.

Currently, Delivery Express has approximately 200,000 members and has recorded cumulative transaction value of approximately 12.1 billion won, steadily establishing its foothold since launch.

According to a recent research institute survey, Delivery Express ranked 1st in 'consumer preference' among 6 domestic delivery app companies in January and February of this year.

Lee Seok-hoon, CEO of Gyeonggi Province Co., Ltd., said, "We are already expanding our service to 9 regions and making efforts to provide benefits to more small business owners and consumers," and added, "We will demonstrate a different approach from existing delivery apps through region-specialized, close-contact events and more."

Meanwhile, Delivery Express, which began pilot service in three regions—Osan, Paju, and Hwaseong—in December last year, expanded its service areas to Icheon, Yangpyeong, Yeoncheon, and Gimpo last month, and to Suwon and Pocheon this month.

The company plans to launch its service in a total of 28 municipalities by the end of this year.

The Delivery Express app can be downloaded from Google Play, the App Store, or the official website.

For inquiries about affiliated store openings, customers can apply online through the website or contact the official call center.
