T&T Supermarket to Launch First Southern California Store

T&T Supermarket Irvine Set to Open in 2026

T&T Supermarket will soon bring its Asian grocery experience to Irvine with its first Southern California store. This T&T Supermarket Irvine location will be part of the new Canopy at Great Park development. The launch marks the next phase in the Canadian retailer’s U.S. expansion, following its debut in Bellevue, Washington.

A Landmark Location with Big Impact

Set to open in winter 2026, the 34,000-square-foot Irvine store sits near the future 133 Freeway interchange. It’s also close to the Great Park Sports Complex, which draws over 8 million visitors annually. The store will create 180 jobs, supporting the local economy while serving a vibrant, diverse community.

The store’s features will include a self-serve hot-food bar called The Kitchen. Shoppers can enjoy Peking duck, crispy Papa Chicken, and Taiwanese rice rolls. Freshly baked goods will also take center stage, with over 150 breads and 50 desserts available.

A Fresh Shopping Experience for Irvine

CEO Tina Lee said that Irvine ranked high among customer requests. She highlighted the store’s offerings—from fresh produce and authentic Asian flavors to viral baked goods. The T&T Supermarket Irvine store will become a go-to destination for Great Park visitors and local families alike.

The supermarket also plans to build community through food and culture. Lee emphasized their goal to help families connect, discover traditional ingredients, and explore new culinary trends.

Retail Innovation and Community Growth

The Canopy at Great Park promises to be more than just a retail hub. Developers envision it as a dynamic gathering place that fits into residents’ everyday lifestyles. Dan Almquist, CEO of Almquist, noted that T&T’s presence reinforces the center’s reputation for best-in-class offerings.

Beyond in-store shopping, California customers can already shop online through T&T’s app and website. While limited to non-perishables now, the service offers $10 off first orders and a loyalty program for discounts and rewards.
