  • Market overview
    Jincheon traditional market has inherited Jincheon eup market and has led the local commercial landscape in and around Jincheon since the liberation from Japan. In 1976, the country gathered a scattering of street stalls throughout the area together and opened a unified market place at around Baekgok stream. In 2015, the market was moved to the current location with modern facilities, which is the present Saenggeo Jincheon Traditional Market.
    Located at the center of Jincheon-eup, Jincheon Jungang Market had been expanded from the old distillery alley to the current location. Recently, it has modernized the facilities and holds various events every year to improve the market and the market competitiveness against large supermarkets. Especially in 2015, it built a customer service center building to increase customer convenience and build more user-friendly shopping environments. Through the alley market development project, Jungang Market continues to grow as a local special market.
