Trader Joe's Announces New Locations In 6 Southern States
Trader Joe's has announced plans to open new stores in 13 states this year, including six states in the South. While specific store opening dates have yet to be announced, the grocery chain has confirmed these locations should open some time in 2025: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, at 1511 Brookton Circle Oklahoma City at 6920 Northwest Expressway New Orleans, Louisiana at 2501 Tulane Ave. Rockville, Maryland at 225 N. Washington St. Washington, DC at 701 Monroe St. NE (Brookland) and 5335 Wisconsin Ave. NW (Friendship Heights) Hoover, Alabama at 1771 Montgomery Highway KENS5 also reports that a third location in San Antonio, Texas is expected to break ground this year and open in early 2026. Trader Joe's just opened a store in Murfreesboro, Tennessee this month. New locations opened late last year in Alpharetta, Georgia; Palm Harbor, Florida; Sandy Springs, Georgia; Greenville, North Carolina; and Raleigh, North Carolina. Trader Joe's is a popular place to shop for inexpensive, in-house products from frozen meals to snacks (the quirky retailer famously sells individual bananas for 23 cents apiece). Each year, customers vote for which products should be in the "Product Hall of Fame," which features favorites like tubs of Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups and blocks of Unexpected Cheddar. It's also a great place for fresh flowers and cheap wine. You can keep an eye out for store opening dates on the Trader Joe's announcement page.

Trader Joe's continues Tennessee expansion, announces opening day for Murfreesboro store
Trader Joe's will open its first store in Murfreesboro and seventh in Tennessee Thursday, spokeswoman Nakia Rohde said. The chain's shoppers in Rutherford County will gain a shorter commute when the Trader Joe's opens at 2305 Medical Center Parkway by Robert Rose Drive and near The Avenue Murfreesboro shopping center. "Moments before doors open at 8 am, there will be a brief ribbon cutting," Rohde told The Daily News Journal. "Store Captain Jeff Carter and Trader Joe's Crew Members will be on hand to welcome customers to their new neighborhood store." Trader Joe's is known for selling popular affordable products such as Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups, Teeny Tiny Avocados, Everything But The Leftovers Seasoning Blend and Stir Fried Garlicky Cabbage. The store will be a short drive from the Interstate 24 interchange with the busy Medical Center Parkway. Trader Joe's coming to Murfreesboro: 'Neighborhood and location are a great fit' Rohde told The Daily News Journal recently that Trader Joe's Murfreesboro store would offer a starting pay range of $14 to $17 per hour. "As a neighborhood grocery store, Trader Joe's prides itself on hiring where our store is located," Rhode said. "The store has hired sixty-five new Crew Members from surrounding areas and transferred in others from neighboring Trader Joe's stores." The new Murfreesboro Trader Joe's will donate 100% of products that go unsold but remain fit to enjoy to a range of non-profit, community-based organizations, seven days a week, in following the company's longstanding Neighborhood Shares Program, Rhode said. Trader Joe's will be operating a 9,400-square-foot specialty grocery store built by Murfreesboro-based TDK Construction and Development. 'It's amazing': In-N-Out Burger plans to open restaurant in Murfreesboro Prior to the signage appearing for the future Trader Joe's, Murfreesboro Mayor Shane McFarland confirmed to The Daily News Journal July 2024 that the construction project at Medical Center Parkway and Robert Rose Drive was for the popular grocery store chain. "For months, we were saying specialty grocer, but this is where Trader Joe's is going to be located," McFarland said. "I think that's going to be a welcome addition to our community. A lot of people are really excited about it." The new Trader Joe's in Murfreesboro will join six others in Tennessee. The California-based Trader Joe's has two locations in Nashville and one in Franklin in Middle Tennessee; one each in Chattanooga and Knoxville in East Tennessee. and one in Germantown in West Tennessee, according to an internet search.
