Asian grocery and beverage expansion draws major Bay Area demand

Hashi Market's Cupertino debut drew roughly 1,700 shoppers, underscoring demand for large-format Japanese grocery, prepared food, sushi, and lifestyle retail. Planned Milpitas, San Mateo, and Union City locations, alongside a major Chinese tea-latte chain's planned 2027 Walnut Creek opening and Jandii's cafe expansion, point to continued Asian retail and beverage growth.
