WASHINGTON STATE - A Canadian grocer has gained a foothold in the United States market. Expanding further in Washington State, T&T Supermarkets announced plans for a second location.

"We never stopped looking at locations in Washington after the announcement of our flagship store in Bellevue," said Tina Lee, Chief Executive Officer. "There's excellent growth potential here, and although we originally planned on only committing to a second location after Bellevue opens, we just couldn't resist this opportunity. It's a great location in a former grocery box—at 30,000 square feet, it's a fitting size for Lynnwood."

As Lee noted in a release, the new location will be located at the Lynnwood Crossroads Shopping Center, a location with great exposure and accessibility.

Last year T&T announced their expansion to the United States with a flagship store in Bellevue, Washington, scheduled to open this summer.

"Today, we have good news and bad news," continued Lee. "The good news is we have signed our second location. The bad news is our first store is delayed. Unfortunately, our electrical panel—a critical piece of equipment—is on backorder. We do not have an official opening date for Bellevue yet, but we are determined to open later in the year."

The Lynnwood store is expected to open in the summer of 2025.
