Canada’s largest Asian grocery chain is poised to open its first location in the United States in Bellevue on Dec. 5.
T&T Supermarket’s 76,000-square-foot store at The Marketplace at Factoria in Bellevue will become the largest Asian supermarket in the state. The Richmond, B.C.-based grocer offers an assortment of authentic Asian products, including fresh produce, live seafood, an in-store kitchen and bakery, and Asian beauty products.
“We aim to bring the rich flavors of Asia directly to the community,” CEO Tina Lee says. “We want to be the go-to destination not only for Asian families but for anyone eager to explore new culinary traditions in the Pacific Northwest.”
T&T says it offers restaurant quality food at supermarket prices, made-to-order street food and more than 750 types of exclusive Asian wines and spirits, including Korean soju and Japanese Sake.
T&T, which was founded in 1993, operates more than 35 locations in Canada.
