Pembroke Pines residents who shop for Asian groceries or quick prepared meals will soon see a familiar store return with a different look. Kimchi Mart announced on July 12 via its Facebook page that its Pembroke Pines location at 11230 Pines Blvd. is undergoing renovations and will reopen “in just a few weeks” with a refreshed interior and a new food court.
The store is two weeks into the revamp and has not provided an exact reopening date. Store representatives did not respond to a request for more details from Pembroke Pines News as of July 13.
What will change for shoppers
According to the announcement, upgrades include a “fresh new look” and an on-site food court intended to expand prepared-food options. The chain’s social post promoted
“big changes, big flavors”and urged followers to
“stay tuned — the wait will be worth it.”
Until the Pembroke Pines location reopens, customers can visit other South Florida Kimchi Mart stores that carry similar grocery and ready-made meal selections, including kimbap, japchae, sushi, bibimbap, bento boxes and rice bowls.

The remodel in Pembroke Pines follows the chain’s June announcement of a much larger location planned for West Palm Beach, which the company says will open late in 2026 and measure 42,000 square feet. That larger project signals the chain’s broader expansion in South Florida but does not change the immediate timeline for the Pembroke Pines site.
For residents, the most immediate effects will be a temporary loss of a nearby Asian grocery and prepared-food source, and, later, a potentially expanded selection of ready-to-eat options if the food court includes traditional and trend-driven items. The store’s reopening could also affect parking and foot traffic at the Pines Boulevard shopping center.
Pembroke Pines shoppers who want updates should monitor Kimchi Mart’s official Facebook page and the store’s signage for a confirmed reopening date and any grand-reopening promotions.
