On December 15, 2022, the first T&T Supermarket store in Montréal opened its doors in the borough of Saint-Laurent. It will serve all residents of the Greater Montreal area with an unparalleled offering of Asian products and food. Representing a multi-million dollar investment, this 6,500 square meter store is the chain's first in Québec and the largest in the country.
“Our adventure in Québec is in order to not only meet the Asian communities here but to offer a unique culinary experience to every Québecer," says Tina Lee, CEO of T&T. In my many visits to Québec, I have been excited to discover a rich culinary culture that combines creativity and diversity and I look forward to T&T contributing to Québecers' growing appetite for new culinary experiences and discoveries."
T&T is a growing part of Loblaw's business and we're excited to bring them to Québec," said Robert Sayer, Loblaw's chief operating officer. Loblaw purchased the company in July 2009.
The store will offer more than 20,000 products including a wide variety of fresh produce, premium fruits and gifts, live seafood, and trendy snacks. The offering includes fresh food and products prepared and cooked in-store or sourced from across Asia: authentic Asian pastries, custom cakes, sushi bar, self-serve hot food station, barbeque station, and rare find street foods such as Asian-style crepes and pork belly buns.
A variety of imported beers and wines from different parts of Asia, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic beers will be sold exclusively at T&T. In fact, this store is the first and only T&T in the country to sell alcohol.
T&T's founders, Cindy and Jack Lee, opened their first Vancouver supermarket in 1993, at a time when Asian products were hard to come by in grocery stores. They named the store after their two daughters, Tina and Tiffany.
