T&T Supermarkets will open its first US store in summer 2024, at the Marketplace at Factoria, a retail, food and entertainment centre in Bellevue, Washington.
At 76,000sq ft, it will be the largest Asian supermarket in the state and a flagship store for T&T. Filled with Asian cuisine, the Bellevue store will feature a sushi counter, hot food bar, noodle station and in-store kitchen and bakery for freshly prepared delicacies such as steam buns and Asian pastries and cakes. The store will also be home to more than 300 T&T private label products.
Headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia, T&T Supermarkets is the largest Asian supermarket chain in Canada, with stores in Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and British Columbia. Founded in 1993, the company was acquired by Loblaw Companies Ltd. in 2009.
“We know the love for T&T transcends borders,” said Tina Lee, CEO, T&T Supermarkets. “It’s not unusual to see US license plates in the parking lots of our British Columbia stores, with hundreds of customers regularly making the drive for our food. After 30 successful years in Canada, we couldn’t be more excited to bring our unique offering closer to home for customers in the United States.”
