The wife and I headed out the "Golden Mile" just a day or two ago to get a few last things for our son from Toys R Us when I saw that there's an H-Mart going in on the north side of 40 east of the old Frederick Towne Mall.
Not sure if you guys have ever shopped at one, but it's a Korean chain of supermarkets and they're pretty awesome. Way more fresh produce than you'll find in a regular supermarket, tons of different cuts of meat at pretty good prices, and a much larger variety of seafood than you typically find at a market other than Wegman's or Whole Foods. Unlike a lot of other Asian supermarket chains, they tend to be clean and they don't sell "seconds" from the butcher.
Anyway, I'm excited about it going in as it beats the hell out of the only other two in the area which are in rather sketchy neighborhoods in MoCo. Also looks like it'll be much bigger than the others, more along the lines of the Super H-Mart in Fairfax.
Also looks like a new WaWa went in over that way as well. Here's hoping some revitalization happens.
