Recently I had the opportunity to tour three grocery stores in the city of Chicago, and the most impressive of the bunch was an H Mart location on Jackson Street in the city’s Loop neighborhood.

The store, which opened in 2018, has a huge live seafood display, an impressive grab-and-go area which is a popular area, and a food court.

The H Mart on Jackson actually receives TikTok videos from shoppers for food they would like to see stocked in the store, and the grocery team does everything within its power to find the items.
