Grand Open

grand opening, new business, new store, south korea, republic of korea, korea, korean

Photographed in Andong (안동시), North Gyeongsang Province (경상북도), South Korea (대한민국), the use of "Grand Open" is common throughout the Republic of Korea. However, the phrase should be "Grand Opening."

Actually, the English should be removed from this sign. If you don't read Korean, then you don't know what kind of business is opening here unless you look through the windows. And if you read Korean, then you may not be able to read the English. The best approach, if there will be English-speaking employees, would be to have one sign fully in Korean and another fully in English. If not, just keep the signs fully in Korean.
