context_page_description: T & T Supermarket is a Canadian supermarket chain that sells primarily Asian foods. The supermarket chain is headquartered in Richmond, British Columbia. In 1993, the first T & T was opened in Burnaby's Metropolis at Metrotown, a shopping centre in the Metrotown area in the Greater Vancouver region. T & T's current CEO is Tina Lee, who succeeded her mother Cindy Lee in 2014.
  The stores range in size from 35,000 sq ft to 74,000 sq ft. In addition to the many departments found in a regular supermarket, most T & T stores also have an in-house bakery, an Asian deli, a sushi and Chinese barbecue department.
  The name T & T itself stands for the names of Lee's two daughters, Tina and Tiffany. T & T also represents the names of the two major investors involved when the company was founded in 1993; Tawa Supermarket Inc. and Uni-President Enterprises Corp.
