H MART'S BK FRANCHISE TO ACCELERATE U.S. EXPANSION WITH PREMIUM F&B BRANDS

LYNDHURST, NJ — BK Franchise, the franchise-specialized subsidiary of H Mart, the largest Asian supermarket chain in the U.S., is officially launching a nationwide expansion of its premier F&B brands: global specialty coffee brand ‘Ten Thousand’ and premium bakery-cafe ‘L’AMI Bakery & Café.’

As the demand for Asian-inspired F&B continues to surge across the U.S., BK Franchise plans to aggressively increase its market share by leveraging its proven operational systems and powerful brand portfolio.

Born in New York and rooted in Sydney, Ten Thousand has captivated both Gen Z and coffee connoisseurs with its sleek brand identity and high-quality specialty coffee. The brand is highly regarded in the industry for its "high-quality, high-efficiency" model, which maintains premium standards while optimizing store operations for franchisees.

In 2025 alone, Ten Thousand achieved a significant milestone by securing 20 new franchise agreements. These locations are scheduled to open sequentially throughout 2026 in major states, including New Jersey, California, Texas, and Illinois. With a proven track record in global markets such as Australia, Taiwan, and Vietnam, BK Franchise has designated 2026 as the "Year of Expansion" for Ten Thousand.

L’AMI Bakery & Café is a premium cafe-style brand that reinterprets the delicate sensibilities of Korean baking for a modern audience. Following the successful launch of its Stand-Alone (Roadshop) location at the Great Neck H Mart Mall in New York, the brand is set to open a new In-Shop location at the Fort Lee H Mart in New Jersey in the first half of 2026.

L’AMI is currently focusing on strengthening brand awareness through flagship and strategic locations. Moving forward, the brand will offer a flexible franchise model that accommodates both In-Shop and Stand-Alone formats, providing versatile options for prospective business partners.

"2026 will be a pivotal year for Ten Thousand and L’AMI Bakery & Café as they establish themselves as core brands in major U.S. commercial districts," said an official from BK Franchise. "Beyond simply expanding our footprint, we are committed to building a stable and profitable partnership model where our franchisees can grow alongside us."

BK Franchise is currently recruiting new partners with customized strategies tailored to each brand’s unique characteristics. Detailed inquiries can be made through the official websites or via email.
