HMart reportedly plans 1st Las Vegas location

HMart, one of the largest Asian specialty grocers in the country, is looking to open a new store in Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported Monday.

The new store will be located in the Sahara Pavilion South shopping center, at 2620 S. Decatur Blvd.

HMart did not immediately respond to a request for comment, and as of Tuesday morning, the grocery retailer’s website does not mention an opening date for the Las Vegas location. According to the specialty grocer’s website, there are currently no HMart locations in the state of Nevada.

Earlier this year, HMart opened  its ninth store in New Jersey on level 1 of the American Dream mall at 1 American Dream Way in East Rutherford, New Jersey, about 12 miles from New York City. 

Looking to expand its brick-and-mortar footprint beyond the coasts, HMart is also looking to open a new location in Urbana, Illinois.  

The new store will be located at 220 N. Broadway Ave., less than two miles from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, as first reported by the Korea Times Chicago.

HMart now operates five stores  in the Chicago area, according to the Asian specialty grocer’s website. This store would be the first in Illinois outside the Chicago metro area.

HMart stores feature Asian groceries and housewares, fresh produce, meat, seafood, as well as food halls inside many of the supermarket locations. 

Founded in 1982, HMart now operates over 75 stores in 14 states across the U.S.
