Canada’s favourite Asian grocery chain will anchor Hazeldean Mall in the emerging tech suburb of Kanata, Ontario.
KANATA, ON, July 27, 2023 /CNW/ – As part of its recent expansion, T&T Supermarkets BB #:165666 is pleased to announce the opening of its second store in Ottawa region in the Winter of 2024. Located in Kanata, Ontario, the 38,000 square feet store will better serve the growing population of the emerging technology hub. This announcement comes on the heels of the business announcing new stores in London, Ontario, and Bellevue, Washington – T&T’s first store in the US.
“Adding a new store in Ottawa was an easy decision. If you’ve ever visited the T&T on Hunt Club on a Saturday morning, you’ll know it’s packed to the brim. We’re delighted that more and more people are choosing our stores as a destination for fresh and exciting food experiences,” said Tina Lee, Chief Executive Officer of T&T. “Also, we can tell from our online delivery service data that many online orders are coming from the Kanata area. So we’re doing this for our amazing, loyal customers in Kanata – bringing the full store experience even closer to home.”
“Over the past few months, we have received so many inquiries about rumours of our new Kanata location. We haven’t been able to comment until now, but today we are so thrilled to confirm that the rumours are true,” said Jimmy Wen, T&T District Manager. “Kanata is a growing community, with talent coming from all over the country – this new store is going to be a great experience for them.”
Regional Group and Hazeldean Mall are delighted to announce the eagerly awaited arrival of T&T Supermarket, marking its second location in the Ottawa region. This exciting development comes as part of Regional Group’s ongoing commitment to revitalizing Hazeldean Mall and fostering growth within the local community.
The acquisition of Hazeldean Mall in 2019 was just the beginning of a transformative journey for Regional Group. Through strategic planning and a dedication to enhancing the shopping experience, the mall has now successfully welcomed two new anchor tenants. The addition of T&T Supermarket and Goodlife, comprising a combined space of nearly 100,000 square feet, serves as a testament to Regional Group’s vision and investment in the Hazeldean Mall and the surrounding area.
“The introduction of T&T Supermarket to Kanata is set to create a ripple effect of positive impacts, said Todd Beech, Director, Leasing, Regional Group. “Not only will this highly anticipated addition cater to the diverse needs of the community, but it will also drive increased foot traffic to the mall, leading to new opportunities for new and current retailers to thrive.”
“We are thrilled to celebrate the opening of T&T Supermarket’s second location in the Ottawa region,” said Sender Gordon, President & CEO, Regional Group. “This milestone represents a significant step in our commitment to transforming Hazeldean Mall into a vibrant destination that serves as a hub for both shopping and community engagement. We believe that T&T Supermarket’s presence will not only enrich the retail landscape but also contribute to the economic growth of the area.”
“As Councillor for this area, I welcome and thank T&T Supermarket for choosing to locate in Kanata South. As a longtime resident, I want to personally thank the Regional Group and Hazeldean Mall for investing in our community. I look forward to continuing to be of any assistance possible in your future plans,” said Allan Hubley, Concillor, Kanata South W23.
The new T&T store will anchor Hazeldean Mall and aims to provide a one-stop shopping experience for all Canadians. The new location will showcase T&T’s extensive range of Asian snacks and gifts, produce, seafood, bakery, and self-serve hot meal options like T&T’s famous Chinese crepes.
