H Mart Grocery Store Opens in Burke Nov. 9

The building formerly occupied by the Giant Food supermarket in Burke Village Center will re-open Nov. 9 as Asian-inspired grocery store H Mart.

H Mart is short for “Han Ah Reum,” which translated means “One Arm Full of Groceries.” The chain started in Queens, New York in 1982.

The ribbon-cutting and grand opening are scheduled to kick off at 9:30 a.m. Festivities will include Korean percussion music, Chinese lion dance, traditional Vietnamese dance, face-painting, balloons and other giveaways.

The new H Mart supermarket is located at 9550 Burke Road, in Burke.
