A Trio of Specialty Stores Are Coming to
Las Vegas
A Whole Foods Market, H Mart, and Wineaux are all set to debut in
Las Vegas later this year, bringing the local community expanded
selections of specialty products, Asian delights, and eclectic wines.
Howard Hughes Holdings Inc., developer of the Summerlin
community in Las Vegas, said a Whole Foods Market will anchor the
400-acre community's walkable urban core.
"Whole Foods Market is known for its standards of excellence and
being an industry leader when it comes to natural and organic
foods, and we believe it is an ideal addition to the Summerlin
community," said Frank Stephan, president of the Nevada Region
for Howard Hughes, in a statement.
Construction is slated for the third quarter of this year. This will
be the fourth Whole Foods Market location within the Howard
Hughes portfolio—following openings in Columbia, Maryland, The
Woodlands in Texas, and Ward Village in Honolulu.
The city is also awaiting the opening of Korean grocer and food hall
H Mart. The chain is known for its extensive selection of packaged
Asian snack foods as well as its assortment of banchan, Korean
side dishes such as kimchi, and other seasoned vegetables and
seafood that are key to traditional Korean cuisine. They also tout
an east Asian-focused assortment of fresh produce, meat, seafood,
groceries, frozen foods, and health and beauty products.
The food hall portion of the location will include Jopok Topokki,
Moobongri Soondae, Bb.q Chicken, Paik's Noodle, Oh-K Dog & Egg
Toas, and Tiger Sugar.
An eagerly-awaited wine bar and shop will also soon open in the
Sundry Food Hall at the UnCommons mixed-use development. Led
by James Beard award-winning chef Shawn McClain, the spot will
offer an edited selection of international wines to explore.
"Wineaux at UnCommons will give wine lovers the experience
they've been looking for; we are so excited to bring the concept to
life in an incredible location," McClain told local news source Las
Vegas Review Journal. —George Hajjar
