ParticipantMan what a circus atmosphere. I went today and it was crazy busy. That Applebee’s has resorted to hiring a security guard and he was literally chasing away anyone that was parking there for H-Mart. He was asking each person if they were going into Applebee’s and if not, he said he was going to call a tow truck to tow them away.
It was very difficult finding a parking space.
I’ve never been to an H-Mart before. Interesting. If you like Korean food then it’s a must visit. They have a cafe inside with Korean food to buy or take out and the line was jam packed with people.
They have a pretty good fruit department and prices are cheap. As someone else mentioned, big Pineapples were only 99 cents each! People were grabbing crates and crates of them. I saw a lady literally take out 35 pineapples. I’m not sure how they can sell them so cheap. I guess it might be a loss leader to get people into the store.
Good addition to the area. Interestingly enough there is some French cafe bakery inside the store. I don’t know if it was any good or not but there was a long line.
I grabbed lots of fruits and picked up 5 pineapples. Plus some marinated meat (beef and chicken).

Agree, which is why Zion is moving to a much bigger place with a lot bigger parking lot.November 21, 2012 at 10:39 PM #755103ocrenter
Participantrarely do I see standard supermarkets with the type of traffic and parking problems we always see with Asian markets. does this mean per store an Asian market will always be much more profitable than the standard supermarket it is replacing?
For example, how much of a revenue bump would H-Mart see in comparison to the Ralph’s it replaced?
