Canadian chain supermarkets

T&T Supermarket is a chain supermarket located in Canada that mainly sells food from Greater China and Asia. It employs 4000 people throughout Canada.

Da Tong Hua was founded in 1993 and currently has 19 branches in the Greater Vancouver area of British Columbia, Calgary and Edmonton in Alberta, and Toronto, Ontario. Da Tong Hua has four logistics centers, three of which are located in the Greater Vancouver area and one in Toronto. The founders of Da Tong Hua were businessman Li Luo Changyu and her husband Li Anbang, who had immigrated from Taiwan to Vancouver for many years. They later found a joint venture between Taiwan's Uni President Corporation and Dahua Supermarket in the United States, as well as some Canadian investors. The name T&T originated from the company names of original shareholders such as Taiwan Unification Corporation (pronounced in Chinese).
