Yogiyo-GS Retail announced the launching of the “Yo Convenience Store”, where customers can immediately receive their orders nationwide. This service has also pushed GS Retail’s GS25 convenience store chains to jump into the express grocery delivery market.

With the availability of the Yogiyo-GS Retail’s Yo Convenience Store, customers can take advantage of the 1-hour express deliveries for groceries. This is Yogiyo’s new quick e-commerce service created in cooperation with GS Retail.

The companies unveiled their new offering on Tuesday this week. And now that it has been officially launched, customers can have their items purchased from GS25 delivered to their doorsteps within an hour, anywhere in the country, as per The Korea Times.
