TL;DR/The Short Version:
Ottawa's second T&T Supermarket. Smaller than the first, but still has lots of cool Asian products.
The Long Version:
This T&T Supermarket location is in Hazeldean Mall in Kanata. It's where the Laura's Your Independent Grocer used to be. It just opened at the end of October 2024. We went the beginning of November 2024 so it was still brand spanking new.
I took my parents here to check it out and see how it compares with the other location on Hunt Club. Our consensus was this Kanata location is smaller with less selection than the original location. We were happy to visit and see what it's all about, but since the Hunt Club location is closer to us, we'll continue to go to that location instead.
The bakery section at this Kanata location is much smaller, as is the prepared foods section. I also noticed that they use sesame seeds in a lot more of their sushi than the Hunt Club location. As someone who can't eat sesame seeds and can rarely buy prepackaged sushi, this made me sad.
They have dim sum and Chinese BBQ and also an area to eat the food you purchase. It's good court style seating.
I did notice their impressive selection of imported Lay's chips. Their selection was comparable to the other location in this regard.
I doubt I will return unless I'm already in the area for another reason because it's far from my home and I rather go to the Hunt Club location, but I think it's great for Kanata residents. And it's breathing some much needed life into Hazeldean Mall.
Lots of free parking in the mall parking lot.
