Opened more than three decades ago, this grocery store has become a Surrey institution. Two EE’s Farm caters to the broad cultural diversity of the community, carrying items ranging from Indian spices and Asian snacks to local farm fresh produce. The high quality foods and low prices make this one of the busiest grocery stores in the city.
T&T has been a favourite among locals since it opened this Surrey location in 1998.
