BGF Retail is partnering with the Korea Post to expand post office parcel services within CU stores, establish CU outlets inside post office branches, launch heat shelters for postal workers, and strengthen partnership benefits for Korea Post employees.

BGF Retail announced on the 10th that it signed this strategic business agreement with Korea Post Headquarters at the BGF Group headquarters in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 9th. The signing ceremony was attended by Seungbae Min, CEO of BGF Retail, Eunkwan Lee, Head of CX Division, Junguk Yeon, CEO of BGF Networks, Inhwan Park, Head of Korea Post Headquarters, and other representatives from both organizations.

Through this agreement, BGF Retail will strengthen its competitiveness by expanding postal parcel services as a convenience store parcel service operation partner. Since May, BGF Retail has been offering the “CU Visit Parcel” service via Korea Post, and starting from the 10th of this month, domestic parcel services will be introduced, making Korea Post’s parcel services available at more than 18,900 CU stores nationwide. There are also plans to further expand the service to include international parcels in the future.

The two organizations will also review the possibility of opening CU outlets within unused spaces at post office branches. Since approximately 3,300 post offices nationwide are located in key regional hubs and easily accessible areas, this initiative seeks to enhance customer convenience by leveraging these locations.

They are also working to broaden the operation of heat shelters for postal workers and to strengthen partnership benefits for Korea Post employees. BGF Retail has been piloting summer heat shelters at company-operated stores since July, and plans to expand this to franchise stores from next year. Starting from the third quarter of this year, Korea Post employees will be able to use their corporate welfare points at CU stores, with plans to provide CU store discount benefits when employees verify themselves on “Pocket CU” in the fourth quarter.

Seungbae Min, CEO of BGF Retail, said, “We expect that the partnership between CU’s extensive nationwide network and Korea Post will enable the launch of lifestyle-oriented services that make customers’ everyday lives more convenient.”
