Convenience store CU said on the 29th that it will run a large-scale noodle discount promotion centered on ramyeon for the entire month of July to coincide with the summer vacation season.
CU will focus on discounts for major cup and packet ramyeon along with the launch of new products in its private brand (PB) "Chitkey" series. Following "Chitkey Real Cream Buldak flavor," it will roll out the new "Chitkey Rich Shrimp Soup Ramyeon" on the 8th. Chitkey Real Cream Buldak flavor is a stir-fried noodle that uses a whole pack of sterilized milk. Chitkey Rich Shrimp Soup Ramyeon is a soup ramyeon with real shrimp and additional seasoning powder.
If you pay with Naver Pay Money/points or a BC Card, the two products are 30% off throughout July. In particular, during "Chitkey Day" held every Sunday, you can get up to 77% off by scanning your Pocket CU membership QR and paying with Naver Pay Money/points or a BC Card.
CU is also running a "pick and mix" event where customers can freely combine popular cup ramyeon. The 21 eligible items include Nongshim Shin Ramyun Rosé, Shin Toomba, OTOKI Jin Jjambbong, Jjashullang, Samyang 1963 Wooji Pagaejang, the Tangle series, and more.
In July, buying three or more event items gets you 30% off, and five or more gets you 40% off. After buying five, if you scan your Pocket CU membership QR and pay with a BC Card or an NH NongHyup Card, an additional 10% discount applies, bringing the price down to as low as half.
Bundle promotions for packet ramyeon are also being strengthened. Discounts will apply to 22 major packet bundle items, including Nongshim Ansungtangmyun, OTOKI Jin Ramen Mild, Samyang Buldak Ramen Carbonara, and Paldo Bibimmen.
On top of the base discount, an additional 30% off is available if you scan your Pocket CU membership QR and pay with an NH NongHyup Card or a Samsung Card. This allows you to purchase packet ramyeon bundles at up to 58% off.
Hwang Ji-seon, processed foods team leader at BGF Retail, said, "Ahead of the vacation season, we prepared not only popular products but also differentiated ramyeon with a variety of benefits to match the period when ramyeon demand concentrates," and added, "We will continue to expand related promotions so we can provide customers with new product experiences and highly satisfying benefits."
