Canada's largest Asian supermarket chain expanding into the US
T&T Supermarket operates a 38-store footprint across western Canada and Washington State, with active construction and flagship store launches underway in the US. The tech stack centers on retail operations (SAP ERP, Salesforce, Braze) and loss prevention (SIEM, DLP, CCTV), while the hiring mix — dominated by ops and manufacturing roles — reflects the capital intensity of retail expansion. Inventory and food safety compliance appear repeatedly in pain points, consistent with the operational challenges of scaling a perishables-heavy grocery chain.
Notable leadership hires: Kitchen Department Head, Head Cook, Produce Department Head, Grocery Department Head, Seafood Department Head
