Korea Racing Authority offers 10,000-won rebate on 50,000-won purchases at Anyang traditional market

The Korea Racing Authority is holding a mutual-growth campaign with the Small Enterprise and Market Service from Friday through Sunday at Anyang Jungang Market and the Beomgye Station alley shopping street in Anyang, Gyeonggi Province, to revitalize local commerce.

The event is designed to stimulate spending at traditional markets and alley shopping districts while spreading eco-friendly consumer habits.

Customers who spend 50,000 won ($37) or more in a single day at the participating market or shopping street will receive a 10,000-won mobile Onuri gift voucher as a rebate. Multiple receipts may be combined, and customers can have their purchases verified at event booths set up in front of each merchants' association office. The rebate is limited to one redemption per person per day and will end early once supplies run out.

An eco-friendly campaign will run alongside the shopping event. Residents who bring 10 paper cartons, five clear plastic bottles, five plastic containers or 10 used batteries will receive a standard garbage bag and a reusable shopping bag.

"We hope this event provides real support for local small business owners and gives residents a chance to rediscover the appeal of traditional markets," a Korea Racing Authority official said.
