This opening is part of a larger trend of Asian grocery stores expanding in the Bay Area, following recent arrivals like T&T Market in San Jose and H Mart in Dublin [1]. Hashi plans to open 10 more stores across the U.S. by early 2027, including sites in Washington, Massachusetts, and Colorado [1].
