A major Canadian grocery company specializing in Asian products and “viral treats” has announced a third planned Bay Area location.
T&T Supermarket, the largest Asian grocery chain in Canada, recently revealed that it will open a 52,000-square foot store in Millbrae, just south of San Francisco International Airport. The supermarket will debut in Friendship Plaza at 95 Murchison Drive and 135-143 S. El Camino Real, with an opening date scheduled for winter 2026.
This is now the third T&T Supermarket in the works in the region, with other spots planned for San Jose’s Westgate Center in the first half of 2026 and San Francisco’s City Center at the end of 2026. The San Mateo Daily Journal was among the first to break the news on Millbrae.
“Finding large retail-format real estate in the Bay Area takes time,” Tina Lee, the company’s CEO, said in a press release. “I have had my eye on Millbrae for a while – it’s a great spot to serve families living in the Peninsula and well spaced between our San Francisco and San Jose locations.”
The newest store seems well-placed, demographically, as more than half of Millbrae’s population is Asian. There are already several Asian groceries in the area, such as two Pacific Supermarkets to the north and a Suruki Supermarket to the south.
