The history of T&T
T&T’s founders, Cindy and Jack Lee, opened their first Vancouver supermarket in 1993, at a time when Asian products were hard to come by in grocery stores. They named the store after their two daughters, Tina and Tiffany – T&T. Cindy fell in love with retail and as a mom, she knew exactly what other moms needed. That’s why, even today, T&T stores have a kitchen and bakery with a wide variety of ready-to-eat meals and breads baked on site, to take the pressure off parents to prepare meals at home for the family. T&T offers an array of foods and dishes that help Asian families connect to their roots and carry on cultural and culinary traditions but has also become a destination for those who are eager to discover new culinary and gastronomic experiences.
