T&T Supermarket Expands Into Millbrae

T&T Supermarket, the largest Asian grocery chain in Canada, is making waves in the Bay Area as it prepares to open its third location in Millbrae. Set to debut in Winter 2026, this store will be situated at Friendship Plaza, conveniently located minutes away from San Francisco International Airport (SFO). With an impressive 52,000 sq. ft. space, T&T aims to cater to the communities of Millbrae, San Bruno, San Mateo, Palo Alto, and beyond.

A Growing Presence

In an area where securing retail space can be challenging, T&T's CEO, Tina Lee, expressed enthusiasm about the new location: "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 prime location for families in the peninsula. We envision our store as a community hub where neighbors can gather to shop, enjoy familiar flavors, and try new ones."

What to Expect

T&T Supermarket is not just an ordinary grocery store; it blends supermarket shopping with a unique dining experience. Here’s what customers can look forward to:

• - Self-Serve Hot Food Bar: Offering signature dishes like Peking Duck, Crispy Papa Chicken, and delicious sushi selections,
• - Made-to-Order Street Food: Delight in authentic flavors with freshly prepared Chinese crepes and Taiwanese rice rolls,
• - Extensive Bakery Section: Over 150 varieties of bread and 50+ desserts, featuring popular items like Napoleon Portuguese Egg Tarts and Lava Mochi Puffs,
• - Specialty Beverages: A wide array of Asian spirits, focusing on Korean soju and Japanese sake,
• - Private Label Products: More than 200 exclusive items, including crowd favorites like Xiao Long Bao (pork soup dumplings) and Korean kalbi marinade.

This location will mark a significant expansion for T&T in the U.S., adding to its existing stores in Bellevue and Lynnwood, Washington. Future plans include additional locations in San Jose, San Francisco, Irvine, and Chino Hills, leading to a landmark year for growth.

Community Impact

The Millbrae store is more than just a grocery outlet; it is set to create approximately 350 jobs in the local community, offering various employment opportunities. As construction progresses, residents may also explore T&T's offerings online via their mobile app, which includes access to pantry staples, trendy snacks, and Asian beauty products.
