Dongwon Home Food (CEO Jung Moon-mok) announced that it has signed a food ingredient supply agreement with WEFOMANCE F&B, operator of the Korean rice soup franchise Dongdong Gukbap.

The agreement was signed at Dongwon Home Food’s Yangsan Logistics Center in Yangsan, South Gyeongsang Province. Attendees included Park Sang-cheon, Head of Dongwon Home Food’s Foodservice Ingredients Business Division, WEFOMANCE F&B CEOs Jo Eun-bin and Kim Young-min, and other executives and employees from both companies.

Under the agreement, Dongwon Home Food will supply food ingredients to more than 40 Dongdong Gukbap locations nationwide. The volume of supply is expected to gradually increase as Dongdong Gukbap, which initially grew throughout southeastern Korea, continues to expand its business, including opening a directly operated store in Seoul and entering the greater Seoul metropolitan area.

Dongwon Home Food sources high-quality agricultural, livestock, and seafood products from producers through a variety of procurement methods, including direct sourcing and negotiated purchasing. The company also handles approximately 30,000 food and non-food products, ranging from sauces and dressings manufactured in-house to processed foods and other supplies.

“We will continue building a strong collaborative relationship with WEFOMANCE F&B to support mutual growth,” said Park Sang-cheon, Head of Dongwon Home Food’s Foodservice Ingredients Business Division. “Through our systematic and efficient food ingredient management system, we will provide fresh and safe ingredients.”

Dongdong Gukbap, operated by WEFOMANCE F&B, began with its flagship location in Eonyang, Ulsan, in 2023. Under the slogan “A New Side of Gukbap,” the franchise offers distinctive menu items that combine traditional Korean rice soup with udon noodles, including Udon Pork Gukbap and Udon Sundae Gukbap. Its creative menu and contemporary store atmosphere have attracted a growing consumer following.
