Loblaw-owned T&T Supermarkets to open U.S. flagship store in Bellevue, Washington
RICHMOND, B.C. — T&T Supermarkets, the largest chain of Asian grocery stores in Canada, is expanding into the U.S. with a store in Bellevue, Washington, set to open next summer.
The Richmond, B.C.-headquartered company said in a press release Thursday that the 76,000-square-foot store will create more than 300 jobs and be the largest Asian supermarket in the state.
The new store will be a flagship for the brand, said T&T chief executive Tina Lee. It will be one of just three stores of that size, the others being a Richmond location and a new one in Montreal.
“We’re just going to bring everything we’ve got,” she said.
