Cherry Hill’s H Mart is set to reopen on Thursday, April 23, after being closed since late June 2025 for a full renovation of the Route 70 store. Local reports say the doors are expected to open at 10 a.m., and the company is planning grand-opening giveaways that could pull in first-day lines.

The Cherry Hill location at 1720 New Jersey Route 70 shut down on June 29, 2025, so crews could rebuild the store and expand it into more of the two-story building. (prlog.org) (42freeway.com) Before the closure, H Mart occupied the lower level at the back of the shopping center. During the renovation, the company won approvals to remake the grocery store downstairs and add a second-floor food hall with restaurant and retail space upstairs. (42freeway.com) (nj.com) The new layout is expected to include six food-hall brands, which turns the Cherry Hill site from a supermarket into more of an all-in-one stop for groceries and prepared food. Courier-Post reported in March that the rebuilt store would reopen with a two-floor format and an Asian food hall. (courierpostonline.com) (phillyvoice.com) One of the named tenants is Paris Baguette, the South Korean bakery chain known for cakes, breads, and coffee drinks. That matters for Cherry Hill because the old store was mainly a grocery run, while the rebuilt one is being positioned more like a destination where people can shop and eat in the same trip. (courierpostonline.com) (42freeway.com) H Mart has been teasing the reopening for weeks on its own site, calling it a “newly renovated” Cherry Hill store and highlighting both the grocery market and the food hall. Its store page now lists the Cherry Hill address and phone number again, after a stretch when the location showed as closed. (hmart.com 1) (hmart.com 2) (gift.hmart.com) The long delay is part of why the reopening is getting attention. When the project was announced in June 2025, the target was an October return, but construction stretched into spring 2026 before the center fencing came down and tenants started receiving occupancy approvals. (42freeway.com 1) (42freeway.com 2) So the April 23 reopening is really the finish line for a ten-month rebuild of one of South Jersey’s busiest Asian grocery anchors. If the giveaways draw the kind of crowd local coverage is expecting, the first people through the doors will be walking into a store that is bigger, newer, and built to keep shoppers around longer than the old one did.
