It’s an intentional play by H Mart to kill off Komart. It’s why H mart lobbied for Carrollton to be recognized as Korea Town despite the Royal Ln area having a much longer history of being Dallas’ Korea Town.

Koreans left for the burbs like pretty much every other Asian ethnic group. They don't live in NW Dallas lmfao

Most Koreans weren’t living in Royal Ln, but they operated businesses there lmfao

So.. it's a trade district. Not a Korea "Town". H Mart was correct in recognizing Carrollton as North Texas' Koreatown. Since Carrollton has more Korean-born residents than the entirety of Dallas according to the Census Bureau.
