Massive Crowd Attends T&T Supermarket Grand Opening in San Francisco

Grand Opening of T&T Supermarket in San Francisco

T&T Supermarket, well-known as the 'Asian Costco,' officially opened its doors in San Francisco on Thursday, November 5. The grand opening attracted a substantial turnout, marking the store's debut at 2675 Geary Blvd., adjacent to the Target at City Center.

Second Bay Area Location for the Canadian Chain

This new San Francisco store is T&T Supermarket's second Bay Area location, following its California debut in San Jose in June 2026. The San Jose opening drew considerable crowds, a trend that continued with the San Francisco launch.

Exclusive Features at the San Francisco Store

The San Francisco location distinguishes itself as the first T&T Supermarket in the United States to feature a full-service cafe. CEO Tina Lee highlighted the Black Sesame Latte as a recommended menu item, and mentioned the option to pair it with protein milk for health-conscious customers. The store also offers a buffet-style hot food bar, BBQ station, sushi counter, pork bun station, and an expanded Asian beauty section with Korean and Japanese products.

Special Offers and Opening Promotions

To celebrate the grand opening, the first 300 customers each day—from November 5 through November 8—will receive a free gift, including T&T San Francisco fridge magnets, while supplies last. The store’s operating hours are from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, providing ample time for shoppers to explore the unique offerings.

San Francisco-Only Bakery Treats

The San Francisco location features bakery exclusives like "The City Hall Mousse Cake" and introduces the “Butter Bun” to U.S. customers for the first time. These items are offered alongside the store's standard assortment of Asian grocery products and fresh foods that have earned T&T Supermarket its reputation.

Upcoming Online Shopping Launch

T&T Supermarket announced it will launch an online shopping service on December 4, including the San Francisco store in its network. The service will provide free express delivery and in-store pickup options for local customers, according to a press release from the company.

T&T Supermarket’s California Expansion

Established in 1993 in Canada, T&T Supermarket is the largest Asian grocery chain in the country. It made its initial U.S. entry in Washington state and now has two stores in the Seattle metropolitan area. The company plans to further expand in California, with upcoming locations in Millbrae, Newark, Chino Hills, and Irvine.

A Unique Shopping Experience

T&T Supermarket has garnered attention from food vloggers and social media influencers, who dub it the “Asian Costco” for its vast selection, combination grocery and seafood market, extensive beauty product section, and mini food court amenities. Tina Lee, the company’s CEO, commented, “If you live near a T&T (Supermarket), life is going to get so much better.”
