Korean grocery chain plans to open fourth Bay Area store in former Target
Briefly

Mega Mart, a Korean grocery chain, is set to expand its Bay Area presence with a new location in East Palo Alto, taking over a former Target site that closed due to underperformance. This move addresses community concerns about food accessibility, as East Palo Alto has been labeled a food desert. The store is expected to open in 2025, adding to the existing locations in Sunnyvale and Fremont. The chain's first U.S. store was inaugurated in Atlanta in 2009, and it has since incorporated unique offerings like an Asian deli and a gluten-free bakery into its Fremont location.
Mega Mart's new East Palo Alto store will occupy the former Target space, addressing grocery shortages in the area long identified as a food desert.
The opening is anticipated in 2025, following the chain's expansion in the Bay Area with existing stores in Sunnyvale and Fremont.
