T&T Supermarkets is marking 30 years as Canada’s favourite Asian grocery store with the announcement that it will soon open a store in the United States. The company confirmed the new store will open Summer of 2024 in Bellevue, Washington in the Marketplace at Factoria.  At 76,000 square feet, it will be the largest Asian supermarket in the state, and a flagship store for T&T.
“We know the love for T&T transcends borders. It’s not unusual to see U. (Tramadol) S. license plates in the parking lots of our British Columbia stores, with hundreds of customers regularly making the drive for our food,” said Tina Lee, CEO, T&T Supermarkets. “After 30 successful years in Canada, we couldn’t be more excited to bring our unique offering closer to home for customers in the United States.”

Filled with the Asian cuisine the stores have become famous for, the new location will feature a sushi counter, hot food bar, noodle station and in-store kitchen and bakery for freshly prepared delicacies like steam buns and pork belly bao, as well as Asian pastries and cakes.  The store will also be home to more than 300 of T&T’s private label products, including customer favourites like green onion pancake, Korean kalbi marinade, juicy pork dumplings and seaweed snacks.

“I used to live in Toronto, and I moved to Seattle for work 10 years ago.  Honestly, one of the things I miss the most from home was T&T,” said Charles Chang, a loyal T&T customer. “We just don’t have anything like it here. T&T coming to town is going to be a huge game changer for the food scene.”

“We are thrilled to have T&T Supermarkets in Bellevue. This store will add to our rich food scene and the vibrant culture of our city,” said Bellevue Mayor Lynne Robinson. “T&T will employ hundreds of talented local workers and I know the store will be welcomed and enjoyed by our community and the region beyond.”
