On Jan. 20, Fremont announced that the city would welcome a new H Mart in Pacific Commons Shopping Center. The Asian market would move into the building vacated by Kohls in April 2025.
The two-story location is over 100,000 square feet and would be the largest H Mart in California. In addition to a grocery focusing on Korean cooking essentials, the store would include a food hall, dine-in restaurants and bar.
In Fremont, H Mart joins Korean grocery store Mega Mart, which opened in the city in 2022. There are already several H Marts in the Bay Area: in Cupertino, Northeast San Jose and South San Francisco.
So far, construction is estimated to begin later in 2026. No firm date is set for construction or opening.
Pacific Commons also saw the opening of Asian boutique Miniso, on Friday, Jan. 17. At 12,000 square feet, it’s the largest in the Bay Area.
