"Presently there is a booming demand for these Supermarkets which includes Fish Markets, Grocery Stores which are now all over the United States."

I deleted this because this is complete POV. Not every market stays open. Like regular stores, some do go out of business. In fact I am curious as to the statistics behind it.

"Much of these restaurants popping up like mushrooms due to client demand in the U.S. is contributed by Superb Asian Cuisine, proof of which, that the Chief Cook of the White House is a Filipina (Philippine Woman), serving no one else than the President of the United States and family for years until the present (2007)."

Not true. Historically the stores came about for social reasons such as increase Asian population etc. US president having a chief cook has nothing do with it. Benjwong 01:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unlisted stores

It's just minutiae, but there is a Galleria Supermarket in Northridge, California. There is also an HK complex in the San Fernando Valley, though I'm not sure which specific region it's in. (For anyone who lives there, it's on the intersection of Sherman Way and White Oak Avenue.)

In addition, there seems to be a complete lack of Thai representation, despite the popularity of Thai cooking. Is that ethnicity's presence in the Asian supermarket scene very small? I see the Thai-themed Bangluck Market chain growing steadily, though extremely slowly. Ron Stoppable (talk) 09:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
