Richmond-based Asian supermarket expands to California

A new T&T Supermarket will replace a Wal-Mart in San Jose.

Richmond-based T&T Supermarket is planning to open its first store in California next year.

The newest T&T, which will be 55,000 square feet in size, will open in San Jose, Calif., in the San Francisco Bay area, in the fall of 2025.

The San Jose store in Westgate Center will be in a former Wal-Mart location.

The developer of Westgate Center is Federal Realty, a real estate investment trust specializing in shopping centres.

"The first time I visited a T&T, it blew my mind,” said Jeff Kreshek, western region president of Federal Realty.

“I came back from Canada thinking, ‘we have to make this happen.’ People don't know what they are missing. T&T is a dynamic concept that caters to the eclectic interests and preferences of our community. To take the T&T experience and put it into Westgate Center – it’ll be a force multiplier.”

The new San Jose T&T location will feature a BBQ counter, noodle station, dim sum and street food section, hot food bar and a made-to-order Chinese crepe station.

The store will also have an in-store bakery with freshly prepared delights such as mochi puffs, egg tarts, Hong Kong-style pastries and customized cakes.

T&T Supermarket, which opened its first location in Burnaby’s Metrotown in 1993, has 33 stores in Canada and is currently planning two stores in Washington State.

T&T was acquired by retail giant Loblaw Companies Ltd. in 2009.
