A 61,000-square-foot supermarket stacked with live seafood, k-beauty products and a bakery case holding more than 300 items is on its way to Chino Hills. T&T Supermarket, the largest Asian supermarket chain in Canada, is building its second Southern California location at Crossroads Marketplace, and the company says the store will bring 350 jobs to the local community.
T&T first announced the project in a June 2025 release carried by PR Newswire, which described the Chino Hills store as the company's sixth planned U.S. location and said it would serve Chino Hills, the Inland Empire and the greater Southern California region. The release put the address at 13017–13021 Peyton Drive, though a separate report from Eater LA lists the address as 1307-13021 Peyton Drive — a discrepancy that hasn't been resolved between the two accounts. Progressive Grocer reports the Chino Hills store is slated to open Thursday, December 10, 2026, with doors opening at 9 a.m. following an 8 a.m. grand-opening ceremony that will include special giveaways and live performances.
Per the Progressive Grocer report, the Chino Hills location is currently hiring, with walk-in interviews held Monday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Chain Store Age, meanwhile, has described the same store's size as 61,000 square feet and pegged its opening for fall 2026, noting that T&T operates more than 38 locations across North America, with all but one in Canada.
What's On The Menu At T&T's Kitchen And Bakery
Beyond the grocery aisles, the Chino Hills store will lean heavily on its in-house kitchen and bakery, according to Progressive Grocer's reporting. The T&T Kitchen is set to offer restaurant-quality food at supermarket prices, including made-to-order Taiwanese-style rice rolls and baby bear bao — a bear-shaped steamed bun filled with braised pork. A barbecue station with carved-to-order meats and a crispy papa chicken option round out the kitchen lineup.
The bakery side promises more than 300 specialty breads, pastries and desserts, including Portuguese egg tarts, bolo butter buns and handmade cookies, with Christmas-themed cakes and party trays also on offer. That spread echoes claims from T&T's earlier PR Newswire announcement, which specifically flagged made-to-order street foods like Taiwanese-style rice rolls and Chinese crepes as draws for the new store.
A Southern California Push Years In The Making
Chino Hills is part of a broader Southern California expansion for T&T. According to Eater LA, the company announced its first Southern California location in Irvine back in April before following up with the Chino Hills plans, and Chain Store Age reports that the Irvine store is expected to open in winter 2026. Progressive Grocer also reports that T&T is planning additional California stores in Millbrae, Newark and at Great Park in Irvine, alongside its existing U.S. stores in Bellevue and Lynnwood, Washington.
T&T's American arrival traces back to December 2024, when the chain opened its first U.S. store in Bellevue, Washington, as reported by Eater LA. The Press-Enterprise has reported that company executives decided to push into the U.S. after noticing many American license plates in the parking lots of its Canadian stores. The chain's most recent milestone came with what Progressive Grocer describes as a successful Bay Area debut; Supermarket News reported that T&T opened its first San Francisco store on Nov. 6, a 52,000-square-foot location described as the chain's fourth U.S. store and second Bay Area location, which also marked the debut of the company's first U.S. T&T Café.
Who's Already Serving Chino Hills Shoppers
T&T won't be the only Asian grocer in town. Boqian Galleria Market also has a Chino Hills location. Eater LA has also noted that T&T's grocery offerings are similar to what shoppers would expect at a store like 99 Ranch, with some crossover with chains like Seafood City, H-Mart and Nijiya.
T&T Supermarket was founded in Vancouver in 1993 and is based in Richmond, British Columbia, according to Progressive Grocer, which also reports the company is now led by second-generation successor and CEO Tina Lee and operates more than 40 stores across Canada and the United States. T&T is owned by Loblaw Cos., a Brampton, Ontario-based company that Progressive Grocer reports ranked No. 19 on the publication's 2026 PG 100 list. The Chino Hills opening report was authored by Bridget Goldschmidt for Progressive Grocer.
