SSG CO., LTD. announced on the 22nd that sales of ready-to-eat meals ordered through its instant delivery service, “Barokwik,” from the 1st to the 19th of this month increased by 160% compared to the same period last month.

Total sales through BaroQuick also rose by 30% during the same period. Analysts attribute this increase to growing demand for solutions that combine grocery shopping and meal preparation at home amid the persistent inclement weather.

For example, customers can easily order and enjoy over 100 types of ready-to-eat foods sold at E-MART Co., Ltd., such as mixed flounder and salmon sushi, sandwiches, hamburger steaks, scallion pancakes, and salads.

During this event, SSG CO., LTD. will offer a free shipping coupon and a 2,000-won discount coupon every day for BaroQuick purchases of 30,000 won or more. For purchases of 40,000 won or more, customers will receive a 12% shopping cart coupon offering a discount of up to 10,000 won.
