Asian Grocery Chain T&T Will Open First SoCal Store in Irvine
T&T Supermarket, Canada’s largest Asian grocery retailer, has slated a winter 2026 opening for its first Southern California store in the Canopy at Great Park, part of a master-planned development in Irvine and located not far from the Great Park Sports Complex. The 34,000-square-foot flagship store, being developed by Almquist, will coincide with T&T’s establishment of a U.S. office in Brea.
“We’re especially proud of our in-store bakery and kitchen – for the eight million annual visitors to the sports park nearby, T&T would be a great place to grab a meal,” said T&T CEO Tina Lee. “We hope to add to the community and offer a place for families to connect through food, discover traditional ingredients, and explore the latest culinary trends.”
The news comes approximately one month after T&T announced its second California location, at Acadia Realty Trust’s San Francisco City Center. Like the Irvine store, it’s slated to open late next year.
