Fremont to Host Largest U.S. Store for Asian Supermarket Chain
A popular Asian supermarket chain will open its largest U.S. location in Fremont, California. The new grocery store will occupy a former Kohl's retail space in the Pacific Commons Shopping Center, catering to the region's diverse population.
- The new anchor tenant of the Pacific Commons Shopping Center will be H Mart, a Korean-American supermarket chain, which plans to open its largest U.S. store in the 100,000-square-foot space. - This new Fremont location will be a two-story, flagship store for H Mart and represents the largest investment in the company's history. - Construction on the new store, located at 43782 Christy St., is expected to begin in late 2026. - The store will feature a multi-level layout that includes a food hall with a mix of casual and full-service restaurants, a bar, and entertainment offerings. - Fremont's demographic landscape makes it a strategic location for the new store, with a population that is over 60% Asian and nearly 50% of residents born outside of the United States. - H Mart currently has over 100 locations across the United States, with existing Bay Area stores in San Francisco and San Jose. - The Pacific Commons Shopping Center is a major retail hub in the region, with other large tenants including Target, Costco, and Nordstrom Rack. - This development is part of a broader trend of major Asian grocery chains expanding in the Bay Area.
