Mitsuwa Marketplace

Mitsuwa Marketplace is a Japanese supermarket chain in America, with locations in California, Illinois, Texas, Hawaii, and New Jersey.

As a subsidiary of Yaohan, Yaohan USA opened its first supermarket in Fresno in 1979. During its heyday, Yaohan operated eight stores all over the States, as well as four Daikichi sushi shops. Upon bankruptcy of Yaohan in 1997, Yaohan USA was subject to a management buyout by regional management, with rebranding as Mitsuwa Marketplace. Mitsuwa continued to expand its stores, mainly inside California. In December 2012, Kamei Corporation, a Japanese trading company, acquired Mitsuwa's stock.
