Largest U.S. Location of Asian Supermarket Opens in Fremont
A popular Asian supermarket chain is opening its largest U.S. store in Fremont, California. The new location is expected to draw shoppers from across the Bay Area. It will feature a wide array of international products catering to the region's diverse population.
- The new supermarket is located at Warm Springs Plaza in Fremont, at the intersection of Mission and Warm Springs boulevards. - With a footprint of approximately 50,000 square feet, it stands as the Bay Area's largest and most modern Asian supermarket. - The choice of Fremont is strategic, given that over 62% of the city's population is of Asian descent, providing a strong customer base. - This opening is part of a larger trend of expanding Asian grocery chains in the region; competitor H Mart has also announced plans for a 100,000-square-foot store in Fremont, with construction expected to begin in late 2026. - The new 99 Ranch Market will be an anchor tenant for the 147,717-square-foot Warm Springs Plaza, which also hosts a variety of other retail stores and restaurants. - Founded by Taiwanese immigrant Roger Chen in 1984, 99 Ranch Market has grown into one of the largest Asian supermarket chains in the United States. - The Fremont location is expected to feature a modern "Eat Up" food court, a concept the chain is introducing in new stores to showcase a variety of Asian cuisines. - Its proximity to the Warm Springs BART station and major freeways like I-880 and I-680 makes it a convenient shopping destination for people throughout the Bay Area.
