To many Canadians, T & T Supermarket is the embodiment of the taste of Asia. It differs from other supermarkets by featuring many uniquely Asian food products not available in other retail outlets.

Shopping at T & T is like taking a journey through parts of Asia where one finds fresh mangoes from the Philippines, crispy snacks from Japan, sauces from Hong Kong, noodles from Taiwan, spices from Thailand and a variety of flavours from China and other Asian countries.

A favourite stop among shoppers at T & T is the seafood department where fresh fish, shrimps and crabs swim in large holding tanks waiting to be chosen by discerning customers. Other exciting finds include the giant elephant clam (Geoduck) with its long trunk, lobster and Alaskan king crab, all gleaming and delectable.

Operation

Freshness and customer satisfaction are the two anchor-stones of the T & T operation. The focus is on quality, innovation and on-going improvement in product selection, customer service and shopping convenience to ensure a high degree of customer satisfaction.

In addition to the many departments found in a regular supermarket, T & T distinguishes itself by having an in-house bakery, an Asian deli, a Sushi and a Chinese BBQ department.

The approach has proven successful and T & T has continued to grow.

Since its inauguration over 10 years ago, T & T has received excellent support and co-operation from suppliers and real estate developers across Canada. They believe in the T & T business proposition and have stood steadfastly by T & T as it makes its mark on Canada's grocery retail industry. They are T & T business partners and as T & T grows, suppliers and real estate developers also prosper, sharing the success of T & T.

T & T's spectacular expansion has meant that it is now Canada's largest Asian supermarket chain. It has eight stores in Greater Vancouver, four stores in Alberta (two in Calgary and two in Edmonton) and six stores in Greater Toronto, making a total of 18 stores in the chain.
