T&T Supermarket, the largest Asian grocery chain in Canada, will open its first California location, at Westgate Center in San Jose, on 18 June.
The opening marks the company’s ongoing expansion in the US market, where it has opened locations in Bellevue and Lynwood, Washington.
T&T has additional California stores in the works, including in San Francisco and Millbrae. It also plans to enter Southern California, with locations in Chino Hills and Irvine.
The 55,000sq ft San Jose store will feature thousands of products spanning Chinese, Taiwanese, Japanese, Korean, Southeast Asian and other Asian cuisines. It will also offer prepared foods, in-store bakery items, made-to-order street food, live seafood, viral snacks, beauty products and more.
“San Jose is a long-anticipated store,” said Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarkets. “We’re bringing more than just exciting, high-quality foods. We’re exporting a new way of life from Canada: one that’s deeply food-centric, celebratory, rich in tradition and fresh-obsessed. We aim to help Asian families stay connected to the food and traditions they grew up with. In pursuit of this cause, T&T has also become a destination for Asian food discovery for everyone.”
