Fremont to Get Largest US Asian Supermarket
A popular Asian supermarket chain is set to open its largest U.S. location in Fremont. The new store is expected to be a significant addition to the city's retail options, catering to a growing local demand for Asian groceries and specialty items.
- The new anchor tenant at the Pacific Commons shopping center will be H Mart, a popular Korean-American supermarket chain. - At 100,000 square feet, the Fremont location is set to be a flagship store for the H Mart chain. - The store will feature a multi-level design that includes a food hall with a variety of eateries, full-service restaurants, a bar, and other entertainment offerings. - Construction is slated to begin in late 2026 in the space formerly occupied by Dick's Sporting Goods. - Fremont's demographic landscape highlights the demand for such a retailer, with census data showing that Asian residents comprise over 62% of the city's population. - This is significantly higher than the average for California, where residents of Asian descent make up about 15% of the state's population. - H Mart will join other major retailers at the 1.1 million-square-foot Pacific Commons center, including Costco, Lowe's, Target, and Nordstrom Rack.
