"Hông Phát will take over one of Eastport Plaza’s anchor spaces, a 154,000 square-foot building which formerly accommodated a Walmart. The Vietnamese supermarket’s founder and CEO Brandon Wang and business partner Hoang Nguyen acquired the property in a $20 million sale. The supermarket will occupy approximately three-quarters of the property, and the remaining space will be leased out to tenants. Customers can expect “multiple food services in a food court section with fast food and takeout options,” Wang told the Oregonian. The new store will be Hông Phát’s fourth; it opened its first location in the Parkrose neighborhood in 2003 before expanding to Montavilla in 2013 and Tigard last summer. Hông Phát will open at 4200 SE 82nd Avenue — a projected opening date has not yet been announced." - Brooke Jackson-Glidden
