Oct 30, 2025
Nongshim announced that it has newly opened two franchises of the curry franchise 'Koko Chi Bangya'Magok Balsan Branch and Gongdeok Lotte Castle Branch.
The Koko Chi Bangya Magok Balsan branch, which opened on the 28th, is located in the center of the Magok district, a business town representing the Gangseo area of Seoul. Nearby, LG Science Park and other large-scale research institutes and high-tech industry-related offices are concentrated, and Magok Station and Balsan Station are within walking distance, making it an area where office workers and floating population continue steadily.
Kim Ryul, the owner of Koko Chi Bangya Magok Balsan Branch, decided to start an additional business after seeing the Magok business district revitalize following the divergence while operating a restaurant in Balsan-dong for 8 years", he said. "I started my favorite Coco Chi Bangya as an item that can be operated for a long time without going out of fashion."
In addition, the Gongdeok Lotte Castle branch of Coco Eichibangya, which opened on the 30th, is located on the 1st basement floor of the Gongdeok Lotte Castle President's underground shopping mall connected to Exit 2 of Gongdeok Station. It is a commercial district where the resident population of large apartments, including office workers around them, is constantly visiting.
Jang Yong-rok, owner of Gongdeok Lotte Castle branch, is an example of switching from a store manager to a franchise owner in Coco Eichibangya. While living in Japan, he gained trust in the Koko Chi Bangya brand by watching the franchise business ability of the local Koko Chi Bangya, the low rate of franchise closure, and the 'Bloom System' that fosters employees wishing to start a business as franchisees. After returning to Korea and joining Coco Eichibangya, he showed excellent performance in a passionate manner, taking the position of manager for the first time in three years.
Jang Yong-rok, the owner of the store, said, "When I worked at the direct store, I had faith in the intimate communication method of the headquarters that cared for employees, and I was able to decide to start a business through a network with seniors who succeeded in starting a business in Coco Chi Bangya.""Koko Chi Bangya is suitable for office commercial stores due to its fast food delivery speed and rotation rate, and we hope that it will be established as a stable store based on the experience of office stores." he expressed his ambition.
Recently, there are more and more cases of Koko Chi Bangya opening franchises by former store employees of direct management stores. Among franchisees, 43% of them were from internal employees. This is considered to be the secret of trust in the headquarters, confidence in its business feasibility, and stable profits.
An official of Nongshim said, "The motto is to carefully open the store even if it is slower than the rapid expansion of the number of stores.""We are strengthening the franchise support system with an emphasis on improving the profit structure of store owners and coexistence with franchisees in line with the expansion of franchisees."It says."
Meanwhile, Cocoi Chibangya, which means 'This is the best restaurant', is a curry restaurant that customizes the spicy taste, amount of rice, and topping ingredients of curry to customers' tastes. In Korea, Nongshim Co., Ltd. is in charge of the operation and franchise business, and continues to manage services, hygiene, and menu quality through business alliances with the Japanese headquarters, and is increasing its competitiveness by developing new and special menus for each season.
