Trader Joe's might be coming to your area: See the new store locations opening this year
Trader Joe's has a loyal following because of its diverse private-label products, global cuisine inspirations, and viral items like the limited-edition mini tote bags. And while some retailer are closing stores, Trader Joe's is expanding.
The specialty grocer opened two new locations in April in Seattle and Murfreesboro, Tennessee. An additional 21 are planned for this year.
Where and how many Trader Joe's are opening in 2025?
The planned 21 locations are spread out across 13 states and Washington, D.C., according to the 'Opening Soon' section of the company's website.
Which states have a Trader Joe's?
The chain operates 581 stores across 42 states and the District of Columbia. The only states without a Trader Joe's are Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Mississippi and West Virginia.
Trader Joe's and its popular mini tote bags
In April, Trader Joe's launched its mini canvas tote bags just in time for Easter. Priced at $2.99, the bags are available in pastel shades of blue, pink, purple, and green. Though they are released nationwide, they are a limited-time product, and each store determines its own merchandising plan.
The new mini totes made their highly anticipated return about a year after the mayhem that ensued in March 2024 when the bags were released. The grocery store chain had to impose a limit on the number of bags that customers could purchase.
Last year's mini totes eventually were listed on a number of online marketplaces for as much as $500, and this year is no different. Listings have already begun to appear on eBay, Mercari and Facebook for as little as $11 and as much as $400.

Guidance for next quarter's revenue was optimistic at $2.72 billion at the midpoint, 2.2% above analysts' estimates. Its non-GAAP profit of $1.37 per share was 5.6% above analysts' consensus estimates. Is now the time to buy eBay? Find out in our full research report. eBay (EBAY) Q2 CY2025 Highlights: Revenue: $2.73 billion vs analyst estimates of $2.65 billion (6.1% year-on-year growth, 3.1% beat) Adjusted EPS: $1.37 vs analyst estimates of $1.30 (5.6% beat) Adjusted Operating Income: $775 million vs analyst estimates of $727.7 million (28.4% margin, 6.5% beat) Revenue Guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $2.72 billion at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $2.66 billion Adjusted EPS guidance for Q3 CY2025 is $1.32 at the midpoint, above analyst estimates of $1.30 Operating Margin: 17.7%, down from 21.3% in the same quarter last year Free Cash Flow was -$441 million, down from $644 million in the previous quarter Active Buyers: 134 million, up 2 million year on year Market Capitalization: $35.74 billion Company Overview Originally known as the first online auction site, eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) is one of the world's largest online marketplaces. Revenue Growth Reviewing a company's long-term sales performance reveals insights into its quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Regrettably, eBay's sales grew at a weak 1.5% compounded annual growth rate over the last three years. This was below our standards and is a rough starting point for our analysis. This quarter, eBay reported year-on-year revenue growth of 6.1%, and its $2.73 billion of revenue exceeded Wall Street's estimates by 3.1%. Company management is currently guiding for a 5.4% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 4% over the next 12 months. Although this projection suggests its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance, it is still below average for the sector. Today's young investors likely haven't read the timeless lessons in Gorilla Game: Picking Winners In High Technology because it was written more than 20 years ago when Microsoft and Apple were first establishing their supremacy. But if we apply the same principles, then enterprise software stocks leveraging their own generative AI capabilities may well be the Gorillas of the future. So, in that spirit, we are excited to present our Special Free Report on a profitable, fast-growing enterprise software stock that is already riding the automation wave and looking to catch the generative AI next. Active Buyers Buyer Growth As an online marketplace, eBay generates revenue growth by increasing both the number of users on its platform and the average order size in dollars. eBay struggled with new customer acquisition over the last two years as its active buyers were flat at 134 million. This performance isn't ideal because internet usage is secular, meaning there are typically unaddressed market opportunities. If eBay wants to accelerate growth, it likely needs to enhance the appeal of its current offerings or innovate with new products. Luckily, eBay added 2 million active buyers in Q2, leading to 1.5% year-on-year growth. The quarterly print was higher than its two-year result, suggesting its new initiatives are accelerating buyer growth. Revenue Per Buyer Average revenue per buyer (ARPB) is a critical metric to track because it measures how much the company earns in transaction fees from each buyer. ARPB also gives us unique insights into a user's average order size and eBay's take rate, or "cut", on each order. eBay's ARPB growth has been subpar over the last two years, averaging 2.6%. This raises questions about its platform's health when paired with its flat active buyers. If eBay wants to grow its buyers, it must either develop new features or lower its monetization of existing ones. This quarter, eBay's ARPB clocked in at $20.37. It grew by 4.6% year on year, faster than its active buyers. Key Takeaways from eBay's Q2 Results It was encouraging to see eBay's revenue guidance for next quarter beat analysts' expectations. We were also happy its revenue outperformed Wall Street's estimates. Profitability also beat, leading to EPS ahead of Wall Street Consensus. Looking ahead, EPS guidance for next quarter was also solid and beat. Zooming out, we think this was a solid quarter. The stock traded up 10.1% to $85.22 immediately after reporting. Is eBay an attractive investment opportunity at the current price? The latest quarter does matter, but not nearly as much as longer-term fundamentals and valuation, when deciding if the stock is a buy.

EBay stock surges on earnings beat, rosy guidance
Shares of eBay popped 10% in extended trading on Wednesday after the online marketplace posted stronger-than-expected results for the second quarter, and offered an upbeat forecast for the current period. Here's how the company did in the second quarter compared to analyst estimates compiled by LSEG. GMV, or the dollar value of items sold, grew 6% year over year to $19.5 billion. That topped analysts' projected $18.9 billion, per StreetAccount estimates. For the third quarter, eBay said revenue will land between $2.69 billion and $2.74 billion, above Wall Street expectations for $2.66 billion. The company also guided for adjusted earnings per share of $1.29 to $1.34. Analysts anticipated $1.31 per share. EBay said third-quarter GMV would be in the range of $19.2 billion and $19.6 billion, which was higher than consensus estimates of $18.8 billion. GMV guidance "contemplates potential disruptions from impending tariffs and the potential elimination of remaining de minimis exemptions," eBay said. Earlier on Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order ending the loophole for low-value packages shipped from all countries, effective Aug. 29. The provision enabled shipments valued below $800 to enter the U.S. duty free. EBay CEO Jamie Iannone said in an interview following the earnings report that the company is "well suited" to navigate any further uncertainty generated by Trump's tariff policies or changes to de minimis. "When we look at what happened, for example, when de minimis was eliminated in China, it did have a deceleration in direct shipments, but a lot of the sellers started making their products available to buyers in other countries like the U.K. and Germany," Iannone said. He added that the company "forward deployed" about 75% of its inventory from China into the U.S. before the changes to de minimis policies. "We feel comfortable with the guidance that we put out there," Iannone said. EBay faces robust competition from online retail rivals Amazon, Walmart and Etsy, along with upstarts like low-cost e-commerce platforms Temu and Shein. To keep buyers and sellers returning to its site, the company has embraced "enthusiast" shoppers and "focus categories," such as collectible sneakers and trading cards, used luxury goods and auto parts. The company in May named Peggy Alford, a former PayPal executive, as its new CFO, succeeding Steve Priest. EBay also announced a broader leadership restructuring that involved bringing its technology teams closer together, Iannone said. The company has also implemented more artificial intelligence tools to help consumers find products on its site, including a shopping agent, which launched earlier this year. "We're already seeing really tangible benefits from generative AI on our P&L, and we think we're only scratching the surface in terms of how to leverage our data," Iannone said. As of Wednesday's close, eBay shares were up 25% for the year, while the Nasdaq has gained about 9%.
