The evaluation committee selected them out of 20 stores that passed the previous document and onsite evaluations based on reputation of the applying stores, etc. The stores engaged in wholesale and retail industries(7) and the food industry(9). By region, 6 stores were located in Seoul, 4 in North Jeonglla province, 2 in Daegu, 1 in Busan, 1 in Gangwon, 1 in South Kyeongsang province, and 1 in South Chungcheong province.

The stores were selected based on their professionalism, product, service and marketing differentiation among stores aged more than 30 years in wholesale, retail and food industries, since the industries are classified as overcrowded.
