With no reference to setting up retail fuel operations, as yet, South Korean convenience store giant CU plans to open its first locations in the U.S. later this year, the company announced last week.
The stores, which range in size from 700 to 2,500 square feet, will be located in urban Honolulu, with the flagship store located at the city’s Executive Centre. It’s unclear how many stores are in the pipeline, but the first ones are expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2025.
If its locations are a hit in Hawaii, CU could become the next competitive threat in a state that lacks a dominant c-store player.
