Big news is brewing in Tampa’s grocery scene. H Mart, the largest Asian supermarket chain in the U.S., has begun construction on its first-ever store in the Tampa Bay Area, at 3908 W. Hillsborough Avenue.
Founded in 1982 in Woodside, Queens, H Mart has grown to more than 100 stores nationwide. The chain is celebrated for its extensive selection of Asian grocery staples and wide variety of Western products, all under one roof. Its food halls, featuring both authentic and modern Asian cuisine, are a major draw for shoppers and food lovers alike.

While there is not yet any timeline for the opening, the news that construction has begun is a huge step for the long-awaited store. If you just can’t wait to experience it, you can make the drive up I-4 to visit their new Orlando store.
Ranked 13th on the National Retail Federation’s Hot 100 Retailers list and featured among Supermarket News’ Top 50 Small Chains and Independents, H Mart continues to cement its status as a top-tier destination for international grocery shopping.
Credit is due to the Tampa Bay Asian Foodies Facebook group, which first tipped us off to plans for a Tampa H Mart last April, and then shared the construction news from an official H Mart statement.
