Oraegage (Korean오래가게), also stylized as OraeGage and translated to Seoul Historical Store,[1] is a designation by the Seoul Metropolitan Government for long-running businesses. The program recognizes such businesses, offers them support, and provides information on them for tourists.[2] It has been running since 2017.[3]

The name of the program means literally "old store", but reportedly also has a meaning of "store that is wanted to be even older".[2]

The program reportedly selects entries in its list by scouting the city, conducting interviews and verifying aspects of the business, and narrowing down candidates. Members of the list reportedly have been running for over 30 years or have been owned by at least two generations.[4][5] Various types of businesses are included in the designation, including restaurants, pharmacies, book stores, beauty salons, and more.[6]
