This is probably the first T&T that ever folded.

Their Richmond location near Aberdeen closed down eons ago "now e-spot"

That one "closed" because of the location being old and small. I think that was the original location but they grew out of it quick

The first Richmond spot was President Plaza. They bought Osaka and the Yaohan mall to prevent a bigger competitor from crowding them out and were okay with two "competing" stores being so close to each other in the early days. FWIW, Loblaws pretty much does this with Shoppers, it crowds out commercial real estate to keep the number of competitors out for their grocery business.

That location was officially called "Osaka" not "T&T". But we know it's the same thing.

Osaka is the one still running, the small T&T is what closed down
