T&T Supermarket has opened its second store in Downtown Toronto, and it’s near the intersection of Yonge & Dundas, and in close proximity to Toronto Metropolitan University.
Despite the heavy snowstorm, people were lined up outside the store starting at 4 a.m. to be first in for the grand opening.
This is the company’s 38th store in North America, with the previous store opening in Bellevue, Washington. It is also the second downtown Toronto location, with the store size of 31,000 square feet, fairly the same as T&T College store.
The store will be open seven days a week, from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m.
The store is bringing food offerings that T&T fans know and love, including a street food section, self-serve hot food, sushi, PaPa Chicken, Egg Tart and more!
This is the only store in the GTA that features a self-serve kiosk in its street food section, allowing customers to order fancy Chinese crepes, rice wraps and more street foods on their own, said the company.
“We’ve seen such overwhelming demand at our College and Spadina location, we knew the city was ready for more. When deciding on the location of the new store, we knew a large portion of our delivery orders were going to the Yonge and Dundas area, so it was the natural choice,” said Tina Lee, CEO, in a previous story with Retail Insider.
“University students, with their busy schedules and often on their own for the first time, may not have the time or the knowhow to cook for themselves. In addition to ready-to-eat meals, fresh fruits and vegetables, and, of course, late-night study snacks, we’re happy to offer students in the area some familiar flavours from home.”
“Yonge and Dundas is the most iconic intersection in the whole country. So it’s very exciting to be there together and alongside some of the biggest brands in Canada and some of the biggest international brands that come to Canada. They want to be at that intersection as well,” said Lee.
