Bonuri Bansang Opens 9th Hospital District Store at Gwangju Christian Hospital

Bon IAF, the creator of 'Bonjuk', announced on the 23rd that its rice pot & grill banquette brand Bonuri Bansang has opened a new store near Gwangju Christian Hospital, marking its entry into the hospital district for the ninth time.

Bonuri Bansang is a premium dining brand that offers traditional Korean meals in a refined banquette style, boasting a menu that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Currently, it has locations in various special districts, including large hospitals, offices, shopping malls, food courts, and KTX stations, and has recently expanded its reach to garden-type districts on the outskirts of the city.

The newly opened Gwangju Christian Hospital store is the ninth hospital district location for Bonuri Bansang nationwide. Notably, it is located in a pharmacy-dense shopping area about 10 meters away from the hospital, representing a new attempt that differs from the traditional operation methods of existing hospital district stores that are situated within commercial spaces inside hospitals. Bonuri Bansang expects that this initiative will not only secure potential demand from nearby customers but also serve as a stepping stone for expanding its presence in hospital districts.

Bonuri Bansang has been receiving relatively stable customer responses in hospital districts, having opened a total of four hospital district stores this year alone, including Dongtan Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital, Ajou University Hospital, Kyung Hee Medical Center, and Gwangju Christian Hospital. An opening at Yonsei Cancer Hospital is also scheduled for early 2026. Recently, there have been cases where a single franchise store in a hospital district recorded monthly sales exceeding 200 million won, increasing interest from prospective entrepreneurs in this optimized dining brand for special districts.

Lee Jae, the head of Bonuri Bansang at Bon IAF, stated, "While maintaining the unique value of a premium Korean dining brand, we are doing our utmost to ensure satisfaction for both customers using the store and franchise owners," and added, "We will strive to establish ourselves as a trusted brand for more customers and franchise owners in various districts by 2026."
