T&T Supermarket Inc., the largest Asian grocery retailer in Canada, is thrilled to announce the opening of its second store in Burnaby, British Columbia at Gilmore Place. The new store, set to open in summer of 2025, is part of an exciting new mixed-used development by ONNI Group which will feature a diverse assortment of retail concepts, restaurants, and B.C.’s tallest residential tower.
Located at #110 – 4112 Lougheed Highway, in one of Burnaby’s most up-and-coming neighbourhoods of Brentwood, the new T&T is strategically positioned to serve the surge in high-rise developments and growing population density, where over 28,000 new residential units are currently in development. Situated near the busy intersection of Trans-Canada Highway No. 1 and Lougheed Highway, and seamlessly connected to the Gilmore SkyTrain Station, a major stop on the Millennium SkyTrain Line, this new location is well poised to serve customers across the region.
“We’re so excited to expand our presence in Burnaby with a second store,” said Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarket Inc. “Currently, we have one T&T in Burnaby, and that’s at Metrotown Mall. If you’ve ever been there on a weekend, you’ll know it’s jam packed. This additional store will allow us to better serve such a rapidly growing urban hub.”
“We are very excited to welcome T&T Supermarkets to Gilmore Place,” said John Middleton, SR VP Of Leasing. “Given our experience with T&T Supermarkets at Ora in Richmond, we have seen firsthand the vibrancy they bring to a community. New home buyers at Gilmore Place have highly anticipated a quality grocer within the project and I know they will be thrilled with this announcement. As will residents throughout North Burnaby. Looking forward to opening day!”
“Being on the SkyTrain line, getting to the new store could not be easier,” continues Lee. “Plus, we’ll have plenty of parking.”
At 55,000 square feet, this location will feature the full range of T&T’s assortment, including Asian snacks, produce, live seafood, bakery, skincare, gifts, and in-store prepared foods. In addition, T&T at Gilmore will have distinguishing features such as popular street foods like popcorn chicken, sticky rice wraps and Chinese crêpes.
