Shun Fat Supermarket was started in the mid-1990s by a Chinese Vietnamese entrepreneur named Hieu Tai Tran (陳才孝). Its first store was opened in the Chinese American suburban community of Monterey Park, California. Despite some amusement in the English-speaking press, the name "Shun Fat" actually means "prosperity" in Chinese.[1]
The market chain competes mainly with the 99 Ranch Market and Hong Kong Supermarket. Like these two supermarket chains, Shun Fat Supermarket usually serves as a major anchor store in some Asian shopping centers and strip malls, which in some cases have been renovated extensively by Hieu Tran. The "Superstores" in Dallas, El Monte, Garden Grove, Las Vegas, San Gabriel and Westminster are uniquely Chinese hypermarkets, as they sell clothing, small electronics and other products in addition to groceries,[2] although these stalls are operated by independent vendors with separate payment.
In 2005, Shun Fat Supermarket opened a 105,000-square-foot (9,800 m2) megastore in the Little Saigon of Westminster, California, joining the already highly competitive Vietnamese supermarket commerce in the community.[3]
In June 2013, the market opened Dallas Superstore, marking its first expansion in Texas.
In 2017, Shun Fat sold the Monterey Park and Rowland Heights locations to Great Wall Supermarket.
In June 2019, the popular Asian supermarket opened its first Oregon branch in Southeast Portland’s Jade District on 82nd Avenue and Foster Road, formerly a Fred Meyer store. This marked Shun Fat’s fifteenth location and first in the Northwest.[4]
