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.

Normalised PBT for the Division was €2.3m, up €0.2m from Q1 2024, despite unfavourable currency movements concerning our Argentinean operations, which led to a currency loss of €0.6 million this quarter, compared to a €0.9 million gain in Q1 2024. Good results, considering Easter, one of the strongest consumption periods for cod in South Europe, was in April. Ahumados Domínguez saw a 7% drop in sales vs. Q1 2024 and posted a PBT loss of €47k in Q1 2025, down from a loss of €700k in Q1 2024. This is the best Q1 result since ISI hf acquired the company. The VA N-Europe division sales were €14.4m, an increase of 11% on the same period last year. Salmon prices in the quarter were lower than forecasted, and the supply was good. White fish prices, on the other hand, were way up with scarce supply. The Irish operation reported an NPBT of €76k, up from a €35k loss in Q1 2024. In contrast, Iceland Seafood Barraclough recorded a PBT loss of €128k. The overall loss before tax was €53k, which aligns with last year's period. Based on forward prices and the supply outlook, salmon prices are expected to remain stable for the rest of the year. The S&D division's sales were €51.1m, an increase of 4.7% compared to last year. Profitability remains on par with Q1 2024. Strong demand for cod drove IS Iceland increased sales at the beginning of the year. Based on Q1 results and current trading, the Normalised PBT Outlook range for 2025 is maintained at €7.5 - 9.5 million. The outlook for our main species is that Cod prices will remain high throughout the year, with supply at a historically low level, while Salmon prices will remain stable throughout the year and lower than predicted. The political landscape has been unpredictable worldwide, although with signs indicating a more balanced economic environment. We expect all divisions to perform according to budget and do not foresee massive changes in the Seafood sector in the coming months.Ægir Páll Friðbertsson, CEO 'As stated before, in 2025, we foresee challenges in the supply chain due to decreasing quotas for cod, meaning that the supply will be less than it has been in recent years. Another challenge for the year was that about half of the company´s interest-bearing debt needed to be refinanced in Q2. Both these factors have presented operational challenges for the company in 2025, with mixed impacts. The company will continue to focus on strengthening the supply chain, improving its financial structure, reducing interest costs, and refining its strategy to build a stronger, more resilient foundation for future the first quarter, we secured a Cod supply and maintained the company on track in a highly competitive environment. All our divisions have increased sales compared to the same quarter in 2024, giving us confidence for the rest of the year. Cod supply will be tough in the coming months, and the salmon market will most likely be highly price sensitive with lower prices and good supply. The Group's refinancing process is close to completion. Credit facilities with an Icelandic bank have been successfully renewed and extended, and both the loan and credit line previously held with DNB have been fully refinanced. On 7 April, the Group completed an unsecured bond issuance, raising ISK 4,000 million (EUR 27.6 million via currency swap) with a 3.5-year maturity. At the same time, bonds with a nominal value of ISK 2,880 million from the ICESEA 25 06 series were sold, reducing the outstanding balance of the bond maturing on 20 June 2025 to ISK 520 million. This refinancing is expected to lower interest expenses from the June 2025 due date onward. The Group remains committed to further reducing interest costs through ongoing financial optimization efforts. On the strategy side, we have been working on several projects focusing on Growth, operational efficiency, and the company's appearance and culture. We expect those projects to begin showing positive results within the following months. We know we have great potential to grow and make more of our company network, solid sales and sourcing network, and a highly skilled team of seafood professionals. The objective is to strengthen Iceland Seafood further to meet its future challenges and opportunities, which I believe will benefit the company, owners, and staff.'

Nintendo partners with third-party websites to stop Switch 2 scalpers
It is as inevitable as a sunrise that in the hours after the Switch 2 launch next week, third-party sites like Ebay will be filled with listings for the new console. But in Japan, Nintendo has announced a new partnership with Japanese third-party retail sites to combat fraudulent Switch 2 listings. Mercari, Yahoo Auctions and Yahoo Flea Market, and Rakuten Rakuma are the participating websites that will, according to a machine translation of Nintendo's announcement, 'proactively remove listings' and establish 'a collaborative system for sharing information.' Nintendo says only 'fraudulent listings' that violated the sites' terms of service agreement would be targeted for removal. In a translated statement on Yahoo Japan's website, the retailer stated that there will be a probationary period for the Switch 2 starting June 5th in which Yahoo Japan will remove listings for the console or suspending the accounts selling them. According to Yahoo Japan, it will revise the probationary period as necessary. Scalpers are the bane of any console launch. Bots flood online buying queues to snap up units before real humans can click 'Add to Cart.' Bot users then take advantage of consumer FOMO by listing consoles for exorbitant prices. Meanwhile, other sellers use deception to trick people into buying what they think is a console but is actually a picture of a box or some other worthless item. (Anti-scalpers would later use a version of this practice for the Switch 2.) Hopefully, Nintendo's plan with third-party sites in Japan works well enough to expand it to other regions.

Hackers steal Adidas customer data in cyber attack
Adidas said customers' personal information has been stolen in a cyber attack. The sportswear giant said hackers stole 'mainly' contact information of people who have dealt with its customer service desk. Passwords, credit card information and payments-related data are not affected by the breach, it said. The Adidas hack comes after Marks & Spencer, Co-op and Harrods faced massive disruption in recent weeks following cyber attacks. Marks & Spencer said last week that the hack would cost it about £300 million after being targeted around the Easter weekend. Adidas said: 'Adidas recently became aware that an unauthorised external party obtained certain consumer data through a third-party customer service provider. 'We immediately took steps to contain the incident and launched a comprehensive investigation, collaborating with leading information security experts. 'The affected data does not contain passwords, credit card or any other payment-related information. 'It mainly consists of contact information relating to consumers who had contacted our customer service help desk in the past. 'Adidas is in the process of informing potentially affected consumers as well as appropriate data protection and law enforcement authorities consistent with applicable law. 'We remain fully committed to protecting the privacy and security of our consumers, and sincerely regret any inconvenience or concern caused by this incident.'
