T&T Supermarket Expands with Third Location in Bay Area
T&T Supermarket is set to become the latest grocery destination on the Peninsula, with plans to open a new location in Millbrae at Friendship Plaza. As the largest Asian grocery chain in Canada, T&T Supermarket aims to create a unique shopping experience, combining grocery shopping with restaurant-quality food. Families in the area will soon have access to a wide array of authentic Asian foods and supermarket essentials.
Store Highlights and Location
This new store, spanning an impressive 52,000 square feet, will be conveniently located just minutes from the airport, catering to residents from Millbrae, San Bruno, San Mateo, and beyond. Its strategic placement seeks to provide a fresh market offering in an area known for diverse food preferences.
Tina Lee's Vision for Millbrae
Tina Lee, the CEO of T&T Supermarket, expressed her enthusiasm for this expansion, stating, "Finding large retail format real estate in the Bay Area takes time. I have had my eye on Millbrae for a while; it's a great spot to serve families living in the peninsula and well spaced between our San Francisco and San Jose locations. We hope our store becomes a place where neighbors come together to shop, eat, take comfort in familiar flavors and discover new tastes."
A Unique Shopping Experience
The Millbrae location will redefine the grocery shopping experience with various offerings:
- Restaurant Quality Food at Supermarket Prices: Customers will find a self-serve hot food bar featuring beloved Asian dishes, from Peking Duck to crispy chicken options.
- Made-to-Order Street Food: The store will serve authentic freshly made Asian street food, like Chinese crepes and Taiwanese-style rice rolls.
- Bakery Delights: T&T's bakery will offer over 150 varieties of freshly baked goods and more than 50 kinds of desserts, including popular items like Portuguese Egg Tarts and Lava Mochi Puffs.
- Exclusive Asian Spirits: There will also be a selection of fine Asian wines and spirits, highlighting beverages such as Korean soju and Japanese sake.
- T&T Private Label Products: The store will feature over 200 T&T private label items, including fan favorites like pork soup dumplings and kale pancakes.
Community Impact and Future Plans
