When a new store or business starts operating, we use the verb 개점하다. Think of it as 'to open a store' or 'to open for business.' This word is typically used for places like shops, restaurants, or cafes.
For example, if a new coffee shop just opened its doors, you would say the coffee shop 개점했어요 (opened). It's a common term you'll hear and see when new establishments begin their operations.
When Koreans say they're going to 개점하다, they mean they're opening a new business. It's a formal way to announce the launch of a store, restaurant, or any commercial establishment. You'll often hear this term used in official announcements or news about new businesses. For example, a new cafe might put up a sign saying '오늘 개점합니다' (We are opening today). It's a straightforward term for a common event in the business world.

§ How to use 개점하다 in a sentence
Let's look at some examples of 개점하다 in action. Notice how it's always related to a store or business starting operations.
새로운 카페가 내일 개점합니다. (The new cafe opens tomorrow.)
백화점이 오전 10시에 개점해요. (The department store opens at 10 AM.)
그 식당은 지난주에 개점했어요. (That restaurant opened last week.)
§ Related vocabulary
To give you a fuller picture, here are some words you'll often see with or around 개점하다.
개점일 (gaejeomil): This means 'opening day'. It's the specific date when a business opens.
개점 기념 (gaejeom ginyeom): This translates to 'opening commemoration' or 'opening celebration'. You'll see this for special events or sales when a new store opens.
폐점하다 (pyejeomhada): The opposite of 개점하다, this means 'to close a business or store'.
§ Similar words and when to use this one vs alternatives
Korean has a few words related to opening, but they aren't all interchangeable. Let's break down the differences so you know when to use 개점하다.
개점하다 (gaejeomhada): This is specifically for a business or store opening its doors to customers. It implies a commercial establishment starting its operations.
새로운 옷가게가 이번 주에 개점합니다. (A new clothing store opens this week.)
열다 (yeolda): This is a very general verb for 'to open'. You use it for almost anything that can be opened – a door, a window, a book, an umbrella, or even an event. While you *could* technically say a store '열다', it doesn't carry the specific nuance of a business starting operations like 개점하다 does. Think of it as 'physical opening'.
문 좀 열어주세요. (Please open the door.)
책을 열었다. (I opened the book.)
시작하다 (sijakhada): This means 'to start' or 'to begin' in a general sense. You use it for tasks, projects, events, or anything that commences. While a business opening is a 'start', 시작하다 focuses on the beginning of an action or process, not specifically a commercial opening.
공부를 시작했어요. (I started studying.)
회의가 곧 시작될 거예요. (The meeting will start soon.)
So, while a business 'starts' its operations, '개점하다' is the specific verb for that particular type of 'start'.
In summary, if you're talking about a shop, restaurant, or any commercial establishment officially opening its doors, 개점하다 is your go-to word. For general 'opening' of objects or 'starting' of activities, stick with 열다 and 시작하다 respectively.

如何使用
When talking about a store or business opening for the very first time, 개점하다 is the correct verb to use. It emphasizes the establishment of a new venture. It’s often used in news articles, official announcements, or when discussing the launch of a new enterprise. For example, you might see signs announcing a new store's grand opening using a variation of this word.
A common mistake is to confuse 개점하다 with other verbs related to 'opening' something. For instance, if you want to say 'to open a door' you would use 열다. If you want to say 'to open a book' you would also use 열다 or 펴다. 개점하다 is specifically for the act of a business starting its operations. Don't use it when a store simply opens for the day; for that, you would typically use phrases like '영업을 시작하다' (to start business hours).
