T&T Supermarket Inc., the Canadian-based Asian grocery retailer, is opening its first California store and third US location in San Jose.
The new store is set to open in Fall 2025 at San Jose’s Westgate Center. The 55,000-square-foot store will be based in a former Walmart location.
T&T operates nearly three-dozen stores across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec; the company is planning to open Washington State stores in Bellevue and Lynwood. The chain offers Asian products, fresh produce, full-service meat counter, live seafood tanks, and an in-store prepared foods program like no other. The new location will feature a BBQ counter, noodle station, dim sum and street food section, hot food bar, a made-to-order Chinese crepe station and an in-store bakery with Asian pastries and customized cakes.
The company expects to create 200 jobs with the new store.
“We aim to create a destination,” said Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarkets. “It’s a place for discovery, innovation, and bringing people together through food. We want to evolve our grocery store beyond the functional – we want to be the place where people want to go, not just need to go. We can’t wait to share that with the people of the Bay Area.”
