California is welcoming a new grocer to the retail scene. T&T Supermarket, a leading Asian grocery chain in Canada, plans to open its first Golden State store at the Westgate Center in San Jose in fall 2025. Following upcoming store openings in Washington, this marks the chain's third United States location.
“We aim to create a destination,” said Tina Lee, Chief Executive Officer. “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. San Jose is a very special place to me.”
The new 55,000-square-foot store, located at the intersection of Saratoga Avenue and Prospect Road, will occupy the former Walmart site. A full-service unique shopping experience, the chain is known for a vast selection of fresh produce, authentic Asian products, full-service meat counter, and more standout features.
Likewise, it will offer a variety of fresh features, including a BBQ counter, noodle station, dim sum and street food section, hot food bar, and a made-to-order Chinese crepe station. To discover more freshly prepared offerings, read the full press release here.
As T&T Supermarkets opens its doors in San Jose, it sets a new benchmark for retail innovation, offering a dynamic shopping experience that will inspire and challenge other retailers in the Bay Area to elevate their own offerings.
Stay tuned as we continue to keep an eye on the Canadian grocer.
