And it's ruined now and has become too big. Party over, just because it's FROM NYC doesn't mean we should be falling head over heels and doing their shadow advertising work for them

Dunno wtf you're talking about, I go frequently and my folks mainly shop there. Might be some trendy dismissable business to white transplants and yupsters, but for Korean families, they are a staple grocery store that carries everything we need. I'll always be happy they're doing well.

They're mainly opening in areas with high or rising Asian populations. They know their target market and expand well. Don't get mad that there's businesses out there that don't feel the need to cater to typical demographics.

Nice strawman, my problem with them is their stupid yuppie suburban fans that are all over reddit, talking them up like it's the best thing since sliced bread, their nasty smelling fish section, their high prices relative to small business. H mart sucks, if you don't see that, you've never shopped local.

Have you ever been to an H-Mart? Never seen a smelly fish section in any of the locations I've shopped at. Always way fresher and cleaner than Chinatown markets.

Also, unless you're only going to Manhattan locations, the prices aren't really that bad lol, whenever I visit my parents in Queens I come back with a load of groceries because they're cheaper than everything near me.

By the way, they were my local small business since I was a kid, and my parents have shopped with them since their first location. I've literally grown up with them. Sorry that doesn't fit your narrative.

Sorry that you're obsessed with defending H mart, hope you get better, you got some major brain rot. Average software engineer btw, they're all simps for H mart. Too much money makes your type not care about food quality/price ratios. Hype becomes everything. I would know, I'm a software engineer too and I'm surrounded by you idiots.

Dunno why you're such a toxic piece of shit about people enjoying a grocery store but I hope you find whatever it is you're looking for out of life you insufferable preachy fuck
