This is a popular Korean grocery store also known to the foreign community as the Orange Market because of its bright orange painted building. It is a small grocery store, but typically carries all the basic things you could need for Korean style food, as well as a few imported and western style food items. Since many people travel by bus or on foot, if you spend more than 30,000 won you can also get free delivery of your food to your home.
