The new Asian supermarket, T&T Supermarket, has opened in Factoria, Bellevue. This Asian supermarket, owned by a Taiwanese Canadian, is based in Canada and operates over 30 stores there. This is their first location in the U.S., and since its opening on December 5, the store has seen constant lines of customers throughout the day.

 

Today, after my cataract surgery on my left eye, I had a chance to visit the store. I waited in line for about 10 minutes, which wasn’t too bad. Inside, the pre-cooked food area was particularly busy, and I noticed they had some sushi available. I wasn’t sure what to expect from the store, but I found it to be very clean. We bought some pre-cooked food, vegetables, and grapes. While the checkout line appeared long, the store had so many cashiers open that it moved very quickly.

 

They also offer $0.10 store bags that aren’t plastic but are reusable, which I thought was a great deal. I’ll definitely return once the crowds die down, though I’m not sure when that will be!
