The First T&T Supermarket in Winnipeg Is Coming to CF Polo Park
The "cult-favourite" Canadian supermarket is bringing its signature Asian groceries, prepared foods, bakery favourites, and beauty products to Manitoba for the first time
WINNIPEG, MB, Aug. 6, 2026 /CNW/ -- Canada's largest Asian grocery retailer is expanding into Manitoba with its first store at Winnipeg, located at CF Polo Park, Winnipeg's premier shopping centre. The new 48,000-square-foot store will be located on the lower level of the mall at 1485 Portage Avenue and is expected to open in Spring 2028.
CF Polo Park marks T&T's third project together with Cadillac Fairview, following the successful opening at CF Fairview Mall and the recently announced store at CF Sherway Gardens in Ontario.
"We've finally figured it out," said Tina Lee, CEO of T&T Supermarkets. "Winnipeg is more than a thousand kilometres away from the nearest T&T, but we've found a way to bring T&T's immersive Asian food experience to the community. We're proud to have found the perfect home at CF Polo Park, where customers can discover fresh produce, exotic fruits, trendy Asian snacks, beauty products, and beloved T&T kitchen and bakery favourites. We're excited to once again partner with Cadillac Fairview and can't wait to become part of the city's vibrant food scene."
"We are thrilled to build on our successful and growing partnership with T&T Supermarket to bring their unique retail experience to Winnipeg at CF Polo Park," said Sal Iacono, President & CEO, Cadillac Fairview. "This opening represents a significant milestone in our commitment to evolving our properties into vibrant, multifaceted destinations, and we look forward to the energy and excitement this new store will undoubtedly bring to our guests in Manitoba."
