About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when H Mart closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot seemed empty, but every time he turned around, there it was—a shadowy figure darting between aisles. Curious, the driver followed the shadow until he found himself standing in front of the frozen food section. There, among the rows of ice cream and frozen dumplings, stood an old Korean lady with a mischievous smile. ‘Just checking if everything’s cold enough,’ she whispered, waving him off. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about late-night sightings, everyone just shrugged and said, “Oh, probably just Mrs. Kim making sure the H Mart is properly chilled.”
2. At closing time, an employee overheard a voice whispering, ‘Finally, someone who understands!’ Curious, the worker followed the sound and found an old shopping cart, abandoned in the aisle. Inside the cart sat a plastic bag with a single banana. The voice whispered again, ‘I’m just saying goodbye.’ Turns out, it was a regular who always left a banana for the night shift.
3. One day, after school, a little girl entered H Mart with her mom. As they walked down the aisles, she suddenly pointed and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The bananas are waving at us!’ Her mother smiled and said, ‘Oh honey, those aren’t bananas, they’re plantains.’ They both laughed as they continued their shopping trip. Years later, whenever anyone mentioned H Mart, the little girl would always smile and say, ‘That’s where the bananas waved at us!’
4. At closing time, a security guard heard a faint humming coming from the produce section. Curious, he approached and found nothing but empty shelves. The next morning, employees discovered that every fruit had been rearranged into perfect musical notes. Suddenly, an old lady walked in, picked up an apple note, and started singing along. Everyone joined in, creating a spontaneous choir in the middle of the store. It turned out H Mart was hosting secret karaoke nights for its customers after hours.
