It has found less success operating in the older Chinatown of Los Angeles due to obscure location, lack of parking space and perhaps competition from local small grocers which are generally popular among lower-income elderly Chinese.

The chain often operates chiefly in the newer suburban Chinatowns, including Milpitas (where the supermarket is strategically located near the Taiwanese-dominated technology industries of the Silicon Valley) and Irvine (where wealthy Taiwanese Americans have settled in the city during much of the 1990s) in California.
