H Mart's First East Bay Store Is Opening: What To Know

DUBLIN, CA — H Mart, one of the nation’s largest Asian supermarket chains, announced that it will open its Dublin location later this month, ending years of anticipation.

The chain’s first East Bay location will open Thursday, March 26 at 7884 Dublin Boulevard at 10 a.m., H Mart announced Wednesday in a news release. The supermarket will host various grand opening events with prizes and giveaways.

The new store is taking over a 27,237-square-foot space formerly occupied by Orchard Supply Hardware. It will offer a full grocery store with a variety of meats, seafood, vegetables, and Asian products difficult to find elsewhere in the United States. The Dublin H Mart will also offer an outdoor seating and play area, and an 8,552-square-foot food hall space offering the following dining options:

• Oh K-Dog & Egg Toast - Korean-style Corn dogs & Toast
• Kyodong Noodles - Korean-style Chinese Cuisine
• Chodang - Korean-style soft tofu specialties
• BBQ Chicken - Korean-style fried and roasted chicken
• Daeho - Authentic Korean cuisine
• Tous Les Jours - French-Asian bakery and desserts

The store will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.

“We know our community has been waiting for this moment, and we're excited to finally celebrate H Mart's opening together,” Dublin Mayor Sherry Hu said in the H Mart news release. “This store brings new energy, new experiences, and a place for residents to gather, explore, and enjoy. I have a feeling it's going to become one of my go-to stops.”

H Mart initially announced plans to open a Dublin location in 2022. The New Jersey-based supermarket currently operates over 100 stores across 18 different states, including two in San Jose and one in San Francisco. H Mart announced in January that it would break ground on a Fremont location at some point at the end of 2026. The two-story, 100,000-square-foot location at the Pacific Commons Shopping Center will be its largest planned location in the United States, and will feature a grocery store, a food hall, full-service and fast-casual restaurants, a bar, and an entertainment area.

Several other Asian supermarkets have opened recently or plan to open soon in the Bay Area. Korean supermarket Mega Mart plans to open at an undetermined point at 2480 Dublin Boulevard, the former location of Lucky Supermarket. T&T Supermarket, Canada’s largest Asian grocery chain, announced locations in San Francisco and San Jose. In January, Tokyo Central opened its first East Bay location in Emeryville, offering groceries, prepared food, and a sit-down sushi restaurant. Osaka Marketplace, a Japanese supermarket and food hall currently operating in Fremont, is planning locations in Foster City and Pleasant Hill.
