H Mart Sets Two-Story Flagship for Fremont’s Pacific Commons, Construction Slated for Late 2026

The prototype pairs a ground-floor market with an upstairs food hall to position the chain as a destination beyond grocery retail.

Overview

  • H Mart confirmed a 100,000-square-foot, two-level flagship at Pacific Commons in Fremont that debuts the company’s new multi-level store format.
  • The project will place the grocery on the first floor and a second-floor food hall with restaurants, a bar, and communal spaces, according to Vestar.
  • The store will reuse the former Kohl’s at 43782 Christy St., a site an East Coast group acquired for just under $18.3 million, public records show.
  • Executives describe the Fremont flagship as the largest investment in H Mart’s history and its largest store in California, with no opening date announced.
  • Vestar says the build is expected to begin in late 2026, marking H Mart’s first Fremont location and extending its Bay Area expansion following its San Francisco store and property purchase, with Dublin still upcoming.
