H-Mart's opening has really caused the Market Basket next door to raise its game. They took over the former EXPO Design Center and doubled their size by moving into that space.

H-Mart is a mostly bi-coastal Korean supermarket chain. Like most Asian supermarket chains, it has a large and varied produce section. Typical of Korean grocers is its extensive array of pickled vegetables.

Market Basket is a local supermarket chain. The new store has a much larger produce section and now carries a wider variety of Asian foods.

Yet another reason to celebrate the arrival of more Asian supermarkets.

I had thought that it was all about H-Mart before, too, but some of my coworkers have told me market baskets near them had already expanded similarly. But we're talking like near melrose and lowell.
Either way, working near both of them is kind of great ;9

Yeah, I read (in wikipedia, I think) that Market Basket was gradually upgrading many of their locations, but I have to wonder if the timing of the remodel in Burlington and the choice of inventory there was at all affected by their nearby competition.
