Those project filings with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tdlr.texas.gov\/TABS\/Search\/Project\/TABS2023026047\" data-link=\"native\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"\">TDLR<\/a>) outlined an estimated $4 million, 23,125-square-foot grocery store slated for 5222 Burnet Road, Suite\u00a0600,\u00a0Austin, TX 78756.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, those project documents have been amended to reflect an anticipated construction completion date on May 31, 2026, per TDLR filings. The development&#8217;s latest status notes reviews of the site have been completed, inching it even closer to its long-awaited debut.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this spring, crews installed H Mart signage on both the building&#8217;s marquee and the store registry at the North Loop Plaza shopping complex. In early May, glass doors and windows had been installed near the entrance.<\/p>\n<p>MySA reached out to H Mart officials on Thursday, May 21, regarding the updated project filings and a potential opening date timeline; in a response on Friday, May 22, company officials said they don&#8217;t have any details about a construction timeline or possible opening date at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Looking outward across the Lone Star State, Texas is home to just seven H Marts concentrated in the Austin, Dallas and Houston metros, with Austin&#8217;s Burnet Road store marking the company&#8217;s eighth statewide and its second since the chain&#8217;s inaugural debut in the Texas capital\u00a0back in February 2018. As for San Antonio? The Alamo City has yet to welcome its own H Mart store.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We do receive a high volume of inquiries and enthusiasm from the San Antonio community, and it\u2019s certainly an area we would love to be in at some point,&#8221; store officials told MySA in late November 2025. &#8220;There are many contributing factors and often long wait times involved in securing the right location for a new store, and these variables can influence our timeline. Unfortunately, for now, we don\u2019t have any additional insights on our end.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Find it: 5222 Burnet Road, Ste. 600, Austin, TX, 78756<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"H Mart \u2014 a popular Korean supermarket and food hall chain offering both Korean and other Asian cuisines&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":305761,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133,2108,821,1112,820],"class_list":["post-305760","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news","tag-mysaaustin","tag-mysabusiness","tag-mysafood","tag-mysastaff"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305760","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305760"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305760\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/305761"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305760"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305760"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305760"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
