T&T Supermarkets, an Asian grocery retailer based in Canada, has announced its expansion of its footprint in the US with first store set to open in California. 

Scheduled to open in autumn 2025, the new store will be located at the Westgate Centre, 1600 Saratoga Ave, San Jose.  

The San Jose store will offer a range of features, including a BBQ counter, noodle station, dim sum and street food section, hot food bar, and a Chinese crepe station made to order.  

Additionally, the store will house an in-store bakery, providing freshly prepared items such as mochi puffs, egg tarts, and Hong Kong style pastries, along with customised cakes. 

For the first time, Californians will also have access to T&T's signature Private Label products, including pineapple cakes, Taiwanese sausages, soup pork dumplings, and green onion pancakes.  

This new store marks the retailer's third store announcement in the US, following two planned locations in Washington. 

It will occupy a 55,000ft² space in the former Walmart location. 

Located at a prime spot in the Bay Area, the Westgate Centre is a familiar landmark at the intersection of Saratoga Avenue and Prospect Road.  

The development of the Westgate Center is managed by Federal Realty, a real estate investment trust. 

The new T&T store is expected to generate approximately 200 jobs for the local community. 

T&T Supermarkets CEO Tina Lee said: "We aim to create a destination. 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."  

T&T Supermarkets operates more than 33 stores across Canada, offering wide selection of authentic Asian products, fresh produce, full-service meat counter, live seafood tanks, and an unparalleled in-store prepared foods programme.
