Brand New 55,000 Sqft Asian Supermarket Coming to San Jose
T&T Supermarket Inc., Canada’s favorite Asian grocery retailer, is announcing the opening of its first store in California at the Westgate Center, 1600 Saratoga Ave, San Jose, set to open in Fall 2025. With two stores in the works in Washington, this marks T&T’s third store announcement in the United States. Bay Area residents will recognize its location at the major intersection of Saratoga Avenue, Lawrence Highway, and Prospect Road. The 55,000-square-foot store is in the former Walmart location.
T&T currently operates over 33 stores across Canada and is known for its vast selection of authentic Asian products, fresh produce, a full-service meat counter, live seafood tanks, and a unique in-store prepared foods program.
The new location will feature a BBQ counter, a noodle station, a dim sum and street food section, a hot food bar, and a made-to-order Chinese crepe station. The store will also have an in-store bakery with freshly prepared delights such as mochi puffs, egg tarts, Hong Kong-style pastries, and customized cakes.
For the first time, California shoppers will be able to access the chain’s signature private label products, including pineapple cakes, Taiwanese sausages, soup pork dumplings, and green onion pancakes, all at affordable prices.
Although an exact opening date has not been announced, the company plans to introduce an online shopping service in California for select products ahead of the store launch. The San Jose location is expected to create approximately 200 local jobs.
Westgate Center has seen recent growth with the addition of businesses such as Mendocino Farms and Shake Shack. The arrival of T&T Supermarket adds another diverse shopping and dining option for residents in the South Bay.
