TT Supermarket Expands to Southern California

TT Supermarket, the largest Asian grocery retailer in Canada, has unveiled plans to open its first store in Southern California. Located in the newly developed Great Park community of Irvine, the flagship store is scheduled to welcome shoppers in Winter 2026. This follows the successful launch of their first U.S. location in Bellevue, Washington, in December 2024.

A New Destination in Great Park

The new TT Supermarket will span 34,000 square feet and will be situated in The Canopy at Great Park. As a highly anticipated addition to the community, the store aims to serve not only the residents of Irvine but also visitors from around the area, given its close proximity to the Great Park Sports Complex, which draws over 8 million visitors annually.

Tina Lee, CEO of TT Supermarkets, expressed her excitement about entering the Southern California market, noting that customer demand has been significant across the U.S. “Irvine is at the top of everyone’s wish list, and we are thrilled to announce our first location here,” Lee said. She emphasized the supermarket’s commitment to delivering high-quality produce, authentic Asian flavors, and trendy products from across Asia.

What to Expect

The upcoming store promises a wealth of unique shopping experiences, including:

Fresh and Authentic Food Offerings

• - Self-Serve Hot Food Bar: Featuring authentic Asian dishes like Peking Duck and BBQ items, along with a Sushi Counter to offer fresh sushi choices.
• - Made-to-Order Street Food: Customers can savor freshly made Asian street foods, including Chinese crepes and Taiwanese-style rice rolls.
• - Bakery Specialties: The in-house bakery plans to introduce over 150 varieties of freshly baked bread along with a selection of stunning desserts, such as Napoleon Portuguese Egg Tarts and Mango Pomelo Swiss Rolls.

Exclusive Products

The supermarket will also showcase a vast selection of Asian spirits, especially Korean soju and Japanese sake, along with over 200 TT Private Label products that feature popular Asian snacks and cooking essentials.

While the opening date is still in the future, California residents can start shopping online for select products through the TT App and website, which currently offers a limited range of trendy snacks and Asian beauty items. New customers can enjoy $10 off their first order over $59 at the online store.

A Community-Centric Approach

The aim of TT Supermarket extends beyond just groceries; they seek to create a community hub where families can gather, explore culinary traditions, and discover new food trends. The store will also provide approximately 180 job opportunities, supporting the local economy as Irvine continues to grow.

Dan Almquist, CEO of Almquist, the real estate firm behind The Canopy, added, “The Great Park community has long awaited a retail and dining hub that enhances their lifestyle. TT Supermarket will serve as a flagship retailer, providing an internationally recognized brand that meets the community's diverse needs.”

Conclusion

As TT Supermarket prepares to open its doors in Irvine, it stands poised to become a cornerstone of the local community, offering not just groceries but a unique cultural experience. With its commitment to quality, authenticity, and community service, TT Supermarket is set to redefine grocery shopping in Southern California.
