Shoppers in the Richmond district will have a new grocery option on November 5, 2026, when T&T Supermarket opens its first San Francisco location. The new store will occupy the long-vacant 50,000-square-foot storefront that formerly housed Best Buy and a planned Whole Foods location.
Why it matters
The arrival of the Canada-based grocer signals a significant change for the retail landscape along the Geary Boulevard corridor. Residents now have a new destination for diverse grocery options, filling a large vacancy that has sat empty since 2017.
The new Geary Boulevard market spans 50,000 square feet, significantly larger than the footprint of many local independent grocers. While the company operates 37 stores in Canada, the exact extent of its planned regional expansion remains subject to future construction timelines.
The players
T&T Supermarket
A Canadian-founded grocery chain known for its diverse selection that is expanding its footprint into the Bay Area.
The details
The new store at 2675 Geary Blvd. will be the first in the U.S. to include an onsite cafe, a departure from the company's traditional model. The project utilized the city’s PermitSF program to speed up the approval process for the tenant improvements. Officials confirmed that future locations are currently in the works for Newark and Millbrae, with construction set to continue through 2027.
Timeline
1993: T&T Supermarket was founded in Vancouver.
2017: The Best Buy location on Geary Boulevard closed.
March 2025: The company signed the lease for the new storefront.
June 2026: The chain opened its first Bay Area location in San Jose.
Nov. 5, 2026: The San Francisco store opens to the public.
Across the Bay
This opening follows the city's ongoing effort to streamline commercial occupancy through the PermitSF program, a system designed to accelerate the use of long-vacant retail space. The timeline for this project reflects a broader trend of large-format grocers moving into suburban and urban corridors formerly held by big-box retailers.
Residents can visit the new store starting November 5, 2026, at 2675 Geary Blvd. Traffic and foot activity around this intersection are expected to increase significantly once the doors open.
The takeaway
The addition of this large-scale market will likely draw significant crowds based on the 60,000 visitors who attended the San Jose opening weekend. Keep an eye on local traffic alerts for the Geary corridor in early November as the grand opening approaches.
