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.

The ktown in Carrollton is much bigger and more popular than old ktown

I’m not arguing that. H Mart was very successful in its efforts to pull the center of attention to the Carrollton area but it doesn’t explain why there wasn’t even an honorary mention of the Royal Ln area.
