New H-Mart Glenview now open

Did you know there is a new H-Mart in Glenview? Has anyone been?

We discovered a batch of old unopened mail and the flyer for the opening was among other nicely aged items.
Apparently H-Mart Glenview opened yesterday or today (both dates are shown in different parts of the flyer).

Some great specials are advertised:
Ohsung Hong Ramyun on sale for $7.98!
Haechandle Gochujang also $7.98.
Haioreum Yellow Croaker $9.98.
Free nail clippers with over $30 purchase

If the correct date is the 16th, today, "Traditional Korean folk dance, traditional Chinese Lion dance and so much more."

H-Mart Glenview
3385 N Milwaukee Ave

Excellent. Enough closer than Niles to make a difference. I can imagine getting here far more often. Look forward to checking it out soon.

HI,

I cannot figure out why they did this unless they anticipate closing Niles. Or is this a response to Assi on Milwaukee?

Any idea what's behind this new location so close to the other?

Regards.

I haven't been there yet, but it's now the closest supermarket to my house. The building it's in was previously Glenview Liquor and Deli, and is not very big: smaller than a typical Jewel. I suspect the selection will be much more limited, but because of the big Korean population in the immediate area (gotta be 10 restaurants and as many churches in less than a mile) it was worth creating an outpost

I think it has to do with there are a lot of Korean/Asian folks living in and around Glenview including various businesses. It makes the location closer to the residents than Niles.

Yikes, what a zoo! It's as small as I remember, nowhere near the selection of theNiles store, but a decent sized fish counter. Specials included Ecuadorian shrimp (about 25/lb, maybe?) for $4.98/lb, live lobster $3.98/lb (they were out, but there were people lined up waiting for more). There is nowhere near enough parking in their lot, they're directing people to park on the grass two doors down where Prime Minister used to be.

Due to its proximity, I'm sure I'll be in there periodically, if they can keep the quality up. But with Mariano's just up the road, and a much greater selection at Assi about ten minutes away, it's hardly going to be my sole shopping sour

Well, they have a small location on Golf Road in Schaumburg, too -- so maybe they just create "outliers" that can hold people over between visits to the "mother ship."

My guess is that most H-Marts are smaller than Niles (actually, I know that, because some of the promotional materials they've sent me claimed Niles was the largest H-Mart store in North America. Guessing again, since the Niles store was a former Omni (Dominick's large-scale offshoot) which was vacant for a while, H-Mart got a favorable lease on the space.

I always assumed that is where the "Super" H-Mart name comes from for some of the stores. I've been to one of the early stores in NJ and a newer "Super" not far away and it is a huge difference.
