Trader Joe’s is opening a dozen new locations in 2025: Here’s where
 

Trader Joe’s, a grocery-store chain known for its individually priced bananas and often “challenging” parking lots, is planning to open at least a dozen new locations in 2025.

The company’s website currently lists 12 planned locations “opening soon” across seven states and Washington, D.C. (A representative for Trader Joe’s confirmed to Nexstar that all of those locations are expected to open in 2025.)

More upcoming locations will be added to the list as they are announced “throughout the year,” according to a company spokesperson.

The cities where shoppers can expect a new Trader Joe’s to open in 2025 — as well as the addresses for those stores — currently include:

Hoover, Alabama — 1771 Montgomery Highway
Northridge, California — 9224 Reseda Boulevard
Sherman Oaks, California — 14140 Riverside Drive
Tarzana, California —18700 Ventura Boulevard
Washington, D.C. — 5335 Wisconsin Avenue NW
Washington, D.C. —701 Monroe Street, NE
Rockville, Maryland — 225 N. Washington Street
Staten Island, New York — 6400 Amboy Road
Berwyn, Pennsylvania — 550 Lancaster Ave
Murfreesboro, Tennessee —2305 Medical Center Parkway
Bellingham, Washington 4255 Meridian Street, Suite 200
Seattle, Washington — 8726 Greenwood Avenue

The Trader Joe’s website did not offer additional details about projected opening dates.

When selecting a location for a new store, Trader Joe’s marketing executives Tara Miller and Matt Sloan explained in a recent episode of the “Inside Trader Joe’s” podcast that the company seeks out spaces that meet specific criteria for population density, traffic patterns and parking availability, among other factors.

The two also emphasized that Trader Joe’s is very deliberate about its “controlled growth,” and may even deliberately avoid moving into spaces that housed former chain grocery stores, as it wouldn’t “feel” like a Trader Joe’s.

Letter-writing campaigns or petitions to bring a Trader Joe’s to a certain area will also usually fall on deaf ears, Miller and Sloan suggested.

“Our decisions, they’re business decisions. We’re excited when people are excited about us, but that’s really not what’s driving the decisions about what brings a Trader Joe’s,” Miller said.

For anyone wondering, there are also no plans for the foreseeable future to bring the signature Trader Joe’s banana-pricing model to Alaska or Hawaii.

“And also, just for clarity sake, we’re still focused on those 48 contiguous states,” Sloan said.

So for this household, the monthly, or every other month trips to winter park will continue....LOL... along with lunch at one of our favs in Winter Park Village:D

LSL Winn Dixie will be an ALDI. 4 others within a fairly easy drive of there.

I would have very much preferred a Trader Joe's.

We drive monthly to Gainesville TJ’s. Have been in Aldi maybe 3 times, hate shopping out of a box, sometimes my grocery app will tell me price is better somewhere else. All three times the veggies and fruit only lasted a day.

Took a few years but got Costco to come here.

Next year will transfer my attention to TJ.

I haven't ever shopped or been at a Trader Joes.

I do so enjoy Aldi's but the award for best overall store for groceries and kind attentiveness and cleanliness and just overall good things is PUBLIX....from this girl.

Agree.

But you're paying for those "overall good things".

Every thing has it's place, I guess. Both Aldi and Publix are thriving in TV because different people value different things.

Not sure TJs is a fit for you. Lots of organic, healthy foods with no additives or preservatives. Best kosher variety, and items that only speciality grocery carries. Usually younger crows that want healthier alternatives

Food
 

Cheesecake Factory, Tibbys and Flemming’s for us.

More importantly, when is the Hooters being built.

A cheesecake factory would be nice

I had aways heard of Trader Joes but had never been in one until 3 weeks ago when I was in Staten Island. I expected a Publix experience and was surprised it was more like Aldi's. I'm not putting it down, I'm just saying for all the hype it was not what I thought it was going to be.

While you're on a roll, how about a decent restaurant or 2? Perhaps a private country club? Maybe a MLB franchise?

You don’t like the food at Anglers Club?? I’ve never heard of anyone complaining about it. I mean how many private places do we need? I remember back when the private restaurant Cattleman’s Club was above Katie Belle’s. Both now closed of course.

I Agee with Kelevision Anglers Club offers the private attraction, with excellent food, and a waitstaff that could fit in to a 5 star restaurant.

BrianL99 you should give it a try, I think the private club you are looking for is right under your nose

Trader Joe’s is nothing like a regular store. It has its own brand of foods from all over the world. Don’t expect to find lay’s potato chips or Heinz ketchup etc…. Some things are great some not so great. TJ’s sells organic whereas Aldi doesn’t. TJ’s has healthier brands in general. They have the best nut selection too for a great price. I love it and wish there was one closer. I don’t like Aldis and don’t like how Publix over charges for everything. Quite frankly, it’s insulting how much they overcharge.

You should take a better look at Aldi. They sell organic products all over the store.

There's a giant gulf between a "private restaurant" & a "private country club".

TJs has plenty of junk food selections full of saturated fat, sugar and processed carbs. If they didn't they would go out of business.

But they do have a better selection of healthier products than most supermarkets.

Just FYI, a New TJ's just opened last Thursday in Plam Harbor, (just north of Clearwater if you find yourself going down that way)

Subject of a private CC has been around since we came in 2007. Many like us are used to having that private CC option, but unless we move farther down the coast it’s not going to happen. Plus after playing at multiple in FL, they are truly a boys club, and females can be second class. I don’t see many buying into a private CC in TV. When Oakland Hills CC burned to the ground, one didn’t hear much grumbling about lack of a place to dine, or locker room. Just the tremendous loss of such history.

It would be an all out revolt if that happened to paying members in TV with a small buy in of only $50,000, and a $500 a month commitment.

About 12-15 years ago, residents of TV presented a petition to Trader Joe's for a store in TV. The petition had over 6,000 signatures. Trader Joe's management accepted the petition and, without reading it, stated that they would never open a store here.

Never was keen on Traders Joe’s

I find that statement to be entirely unbelievable. Mostly because TJ management are pros and know it would be bad PR to say such a thing plus there is nothing to gain about making such a sweeping statement.

Further, no one can predict the future with any consistent accuracy - that's another reason they'd never say it. Frankly, the most obvious place for them to put a store would be south Ocala to capture that population plus the close-by Villagers.

I have been shopping at various Publix stores since 1996. They had a lot of them around Palm Harbor, Oldsmar, and East Lake back when we lived in Palm Harbor. I have gone to a number of them in the Villages as well.

We did go to some Trader Joes in Northern California and do remember the various items from all over the world for sale.

We came from Columbus Ohio where there are many TJs. Been to the one by our old house a few times. We just don't see why everyone goes so crazy about them. We leave with very little. Last year stopped at the one near Tampa, ended up coming out with nothing.

Maybe a taste for the exotic? I prefer familiar things like Publix Chicken tenders.

That was then this is now

The Villages is the antithesis of the Trader Joe shopping demographic. If they ever open a store here, it will a long wait in my opinion.

That said, I just don't get it. I drive past one most every day, when I'm not in TV ... twice. I might stop in once a year if I'm desperate for a particular item and don't want to go to a real grocery store, but for every day shopping, TJ is a definite non-starter.

They have an excellent wine selection. They have a world wide exclusive on our favorite wine.

High quality fruits and vegetables as well.

It definitely is not an ideal match demographically to The Villages, except that TJ's is like Costco in that the majority of shoppers are in a higher income and education bracket.

When I'm at a Publix in TV, I frequently see people with a cart full of almost 100% processed foods. While many of the snacks at Trader Joe's are processed, most of their food is not.

& much younger and more culturally diverse.

The larger relevancy is that the population of TV isn't enough. The better location would be South Ocala just of I-75.

That way they capture Ocala population plus the upper 1/2 to 2/3 of TV residents. But, realistically, that might not still be enough population for the sales velocity they want. However, being just off 75 could make-up for some of that via travelers stopping.

From AI

The average shopper goes 3.6 miles to a grocery store and 87% of Americans won't travel more than 15 minutes to shop. The 15-20 people on TOTV & FB that are constantly harping about bringing a Trader Joe's to TV, just isn't enough to support one.

Guess we are in the 13% who will travel more than that and do believe lots of villagers are also in that 13% as well

I’ve been to Trader Joe’s a few times and just don’t understand what
is so great about this store.

If it's nice restaurants you're looking for, try the TJs in Doctor Phillips on Sand Lake RD. There are a lot of nice ones nearby and it's about the same distance as the TJs in Winter Park.

^Concur. In addition, their pump hand soap, frozen selection is chock full of wonderful things to keep tucked in the corner of the freezer. I skip their dairy for the most part, but the little packs of nuts and the produce and especially the wines are great! They have my favorite wine as well. The NZ Sauvignon Blanc with the orange triangle logo is delicious and a reasonably priced $8.

Reminds me of a grocery store designed for food tourists. Buy yourself a food souvenir.

It does have lower prices on many products compared to Publix. Other than that, if you have a bland palate or not interested in organic foods and plant based alternatives then there probably isn't much to be excited about.
