Hashi Market’s planned Aurora store is tied to a former Safeway at 12200 E. Mississippi Ave. The property sold for $5.1 million in June, and the company obtained a $4.34 million loan from Hanmi Bank through a Small Business Administration program, according to Denverite.
Hashi Market lists the Aurora address as coming soon on its locations page. The store would be the chain’s Colorado debut, but the company has not announced an opening date, WhatNow reports.
The Aurora location is expected to have eight departments, including groceries, beauty products and seafood, Denverite reports. WhatNow describes a wider selection that includes Japanese and other Asian pantry goods, fresh produce and seafood, and meat such as wagyu, with some cuts intended for shabu-shabu and yakiniku.
WhatNow also reports that the market plans to prepare bentos and serve sushi, including rolls, nigiri and onigiri. Its account says the catering operation is expected to offer platters, bento boxes and hot dishes for private and corporate events. The company has not shared a schedule for the Aurora opening, according to WhatNow.
