H Mart to Open Largest US Store in Bay Area
Korean-American grocery chain H Mart is set to open its largest U.S. store in Fremont, California. The new location will significantly expand the company's Bay Area presence. The store will feature a wide range of Asian foods and products to serve the region's diverse population.
- The new store will be located in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center in Fremont, specifically at 43782 Christy St., taking over a former Kohl's building. - This 100,000-square-foot, two-story location represents the largest investment in H Mart's history and will be the first of a new "multi-level prototype." - Beyond a grocery store, the flagship location is planned to include a food hall with fast-casual and full-service restaurants, a bar, and entertainment offerings. - Construction is expected to begin in late 2026, though a specific opening date has not yet been announced. - Fremont's population is over 60% Asian, providing a strong customer base for the Korean-American grocery chain. - This will be H Mart's fourth location in the Bay Area, adding to its existing stores in San Francisco and two in San Jose. - Another H Mart location in Dublin has been announced as "coming soon" but has faced delays and does not yet have an opening date. - The new Fremont store is part of a larger expansion of Asian grocery chains in the Bay Area, including T&T Supermarket and Tokyo Central.
