Prepare your passports. North Carolina grocery shopping is going international.
This massive market turns a routine food run into a trip across several cuisines without leaving the building.
One aisle can spark a new dinner idea, and the next can send that plan somewhere completely different.
The store opened in December 2022 and covers roughly 108,000 square feet, making it the chain’s largest location.
Weekly specials keep things moving, while harder-to-find ingredients reward anyone willing to wander beyond the familiar.
You may arrive with a short list, but by checkout, dinner could have changed countries three times. So, where will your cart take you first?
The Han Family Took Over The Market In 2012
Super G Mart began in 2008, and the Han family took ownership four years later.
The first store opened in Greensboro at about 50,000 square feet. A second location followed in Charlotte in 2010 at roughly 52,000 square feet.
Under the Han family, the business expanded again with the much larger Pineville store.
The location includes the grocery market, community space, food hall, and additional retail areas, all inside one large complex.
Fresh produce, meat, seafood, frozen items, prepared foods, and pantry staples fill the grocery side, while international products stretch across aisle after aisle.
The Han family continues to own and operate the business today.
The Pineville location is much larger than the company’s earlier North Carolina stores, giving shoppers more room to move between fresh departments, dry goods, frozen foods, housewares, and specialty items.
A cart can roll from Korean pantry staples to Caribbean ingredients, pass the live seafood counter, and end up near a food hall before the trip is finished.
That is a long way from a quick stop for milk, but the family-owned operation is still at the center of it.
The Pineville Store Spans Roughly 108,000 Square Feet
The Pineville location opened in December 2022 inside a former Super Kmart space.
At roughly 108,000 square feet, it is about twice the size of Super G Mart’s earlier stores and includes grocery departments, specialty retail, community space, and dining.
The scale becomes obvious once you start moving through the aisles.
Products tied to Asian, African, Indian, Middle Eastern, European, Caribbean, Latin American, and American cuisines can all appear within the same trip.
The Pineville store is located at 10500 Centrum Parkway, Pineville, North Carolina 28134.
It opened as Super G Mart’s third and largest North Carolina location.
Super G Mart is open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with holiday hours subject to change. The large footprint gives you plenty to explore before checkout.
A short grocery run can easily stretch when the produce section leads to seafood, the seafood counter leads to frozen foods, and the pantry aisles introduce something you were not planning to buy.
That is what happens when 108,000 square feet starts negotiating with a handwritten shopping list.
Produce And Live Seafood Make The Fresh Departments Stand Out
The fresh side of the store carries ingredients that do not appear in every supermarket.
Banana leaves, jackfruit, yucca root, and other fruits and vegetables used across international cuisines fill the produce department.
The Pineville store also includes an expanded fresh and live seafood market.
Live tilapia, blue crab, lobster, roasted eel, and other seafood choices appear in the department, while frozen seafood and pantry items add more options elsewhere in the store.
That gives home cooks room to shop for recipes that need more than a standard fillet or a bag of frozen shrimp.
A dinner plan can begin with herbs, roots, greens, or tropical fruit and move directly toward the seafood counter without requiring another stop.
Fresh inventory can vary with supply, so the department may look different from one week to the next.
One visit may put a whole jackfruit in your path. Another may introduce a seafood item you have only seen on a restaurant menu.
The fresh departments also make the store useful for complete meals, not only specialty ingredients, which gives the cart plenty of chances to grow before checkout.
You can leave the section with both the unusual ingredient and the everyday basics needed to cook around it.
Pantry Aisles Cover Cuisines From Around The World
The dry-goods aisles are where Super G Mart starts stretching the map.
Rice, noodles, sauces, spices, snacks, canned foods, frozen specialties, condiments, drinks, household products, and cooking supplies represent cuisines from several continents.
Many of these ingredients rarely appear in a standard neighborhood grocery store.
That can mean Korean sauces on one aisle, Indian pantry staples on another, Middle Eastern products a few rows later, and Latin American or Caribbean ingredients before you reach the end of the section.
Housewares add another layer, with cooking tools and kitchen products sitting near the foods that use them.
You can pick up the ingredients for a dish and find the pan, grill, rice tool, or serving piece used to make it during the same trip.
The pantry aisles make it easy to compare unfamiliar ingredients beside familiar staples.
Rice, sauces, noodles, snacks, spices, canned foods, and household goods can all pull the cart in a different direction.
Reading labels can easily add a few minutes when several cuisines sit within the same grocery run, especially when one unfamiliar sauce starts looking like the beginning of dinner.
The frozen aisles add even more international choices before you reach checkout.
Alley 51 Adds A 25,000-Square-Foot Food Hall
The grocery store is only part of the Pineville complex.
Alley 51 opened inside Super G Mart in May 2024, adding roughly 25,000 square feet of food-hall space.
The food hall brings together multiple restaurant stalls serving dishes connected to Vietnam, Korea, the Philippines, China, Japan, and other Asian cuisines.
Ramen, sushi, Korean street food, Filipino dishes, Vietnamese food, Chinese buns, dumplings, and desserts have all been part of the Alley 51 lineup.
That means you can shop for ingredients from one cuisine and sit down with a meal from another before heading home.
One person can head toward ramen while another chooses dumplings, rice bowls, or dessert, then everyone can meet back at the same table.
The food hall sits inside the same complex, so dinner can follow the grocery run without another drive.
A cart full of groceries can wait nearby while you decide whether the last stop of the visit should be noodles, dumplings, or something sweet.
That is a practical way to turn one parking spot into both errands and dinner.
The food hall also gives the Pineville location a completely different rhythm from the company’s earlier grocery-only stores.
The Club Brings Community Events Into The Market
Super G Mart also includes a community space called The Club.
The space is designed for cultural enrichment, community gatherings, and interactive activities.
Events have included hands-on workshops and cultural programming, while larger celebrations have also brought performances, food, and community groups into the Pineville complex.
That gives part of the building a role beyond shopping.
You may come in for groceries and find an event nearby, or plan a visit around a workshop before browsing the aisles afterward.
Because The Club sits inside the same complex as the supermarket and Alley 51, one visit can combine groceries, a community event, and a meal.
The market has also used the wider Pineville property for cultural celebrations that bring several communities together in one place.
You can move from The Club to the produce section and then toward Alley 51 without leaving the building.
Events can add something different to a return visit even when the grocery list stays familiar.
The shopping cart may be the only part of the day still convinced this was supposed to be a routine errand.
That mix of shopping and community space gives the building more than one reason to stay busy.
One Stop Can Cover Groceries, Dinner, And A New Recipe
Super G Mart Pineville combines international groceries, fresh departments, community space, and a food hall under one roof.
The store is large enough to handle everyday groceries, while the international selection makes it easy to build a meal around ingredients you did not expect to find.
Fresh produce and live seafood cover the perishable side of the list, while pantry aisles stretch through sauces, noodles, rice, spices, snacks, frozen foods, and household items from many regions.
Then Alley 51 keeps multiple food stalls only steps away.
Online ordering is also available for shoppers who already know what they need.
A weekly special may bring you in for one item, while the produce department, seafood counter, and food hall can quickly add more to the visit.
That is where the store becomes more than a quick grocery stop.
By the time you head back to the car, the same North Carolina visit may have covered groceries, a new ingredient, and dinner.
A shopping list may still get everything checked off.
It just might pick up several unexpected additions along the way, which is exactly what a market this large makes possible.
