Asian Grocery Boom Amid Grocery-Access Pressure

International grocers remain important discovery destinations across the East Bay and South Bay. Apni Mandi Farmers Market has opened in Dublin’s Fallon Gateway Center as a 24/7 store and the chain’s fourth Bay Area location, with grand-opening promotions through Nov. 1; Hashi Market’s Cupertino store opened Oct. 9, T&T’s first San Francisco store is set for Nov. 5, and Pleasant Hill’s Osaka Marketplace targets mid-November. Second Harvest reports that 74% of surveyed Silicon Valley households say nutritious food costs make staying healthy difficult; a new South Bay pantry for service members and military families lacks operating details.
