Need a Job? How about H-Mart?
A few months back, I wrote a post about how excited I was that a new Asian grocery store, namely the Korean chain H-Mart, was coming to the Boston Metro Area (Burlington, MA). At the time, I believe the place was slated to open up in September 2008. Of course, September 2008 came and went and no new H-Mart. And now, it is 2009!
I suspect that part of the delay is due to the current “economic climate.” At the same time, it is not unusual for construction project to take a little longer than expected. See the Big Dig for details.
Well, I recently went and visited the website and I think that it is going to be opening very soon. I’m excited. The Super 88 in Allston is being renovated and for some reason, they have stopped stocking new food during the renovation. So, currently, I can only hit up Chinatown for my Asian goods.
So, how do I know that the opening is going to happen soon? Well, I can’t read Hangul, but while aimlessly clicking links, I found this web page. Apparently, it looks like H-Mart in Burlington, MA is looking to hire. If you’re currently out of a job, maybe you can apply there. While the application form has English on it, I would recommend fluency in Korean.
Oh, and apparently, I’m not the only blogger who has a sick fascination with Asian grocery stores. Check out this blog post. And here’s a video for H-Mart… but I have absolutely no idea what the video is talking about.
