If you’ve been hoping for a Trader Joe’s to pop up closer to home, your wish might just be coming true. The beloved neighborhood grocery chain has officially added 30 new store locations to its “Coming Soon” list—marking a major expansion across 18 states and Washington, D.C.
While the company remains famously tight-lipped about exact opening dates, Trader Joe’s typically announces grand openings 3–6 months in advance. For now, fans can keep tabs on their local pages or the “Store Openings” section of Trader Joe’s website for updates and store-specific details, including whether your location will carry beer or wine.

Why These Locations?
According to Trader Joe’s execs, new store locations are chosen with great care. On the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast, marketing leaders revealed that factors like population density, traffic flow, and parking heavily influence their choices. Interestingly, Trader Joe’s avoids repurposing traditional grocery store spaces to preserve its unique in-store experience.
In fact, their recent Sherman Oaks, CA opening made waves for being directly across the street from an existing Trader Joe’s. Both stores are staying open—proof that the brand prioritizes accessibility and community demand, even in saturated markets.
Final Thoughts
With Trader Joe’s preparing to cross the 600-store mark, it’s clear the chain is doubling down on its mission to bring “unique and interesting products from around the world” to even more neighborhoods.
