The favorite grocery store chain is growing again. This summer, Trader Joe’s announced that it’s opening 16 new stores in 2025 throughout the United States. That’s quite a growth spurt, especially after Trader Joe’s quietly closed some of its underperforming stores earlier this year.
And if you’re in Texas, New York, Florida, or California, you might be one of the lucky ones to have a new store open in your area.
Let me take you through the top points you need to know:
1. Why this expansion matters
Trader Joe’s already has a presence in at least 42 states.
The new stores are a sign that the company is committed to sensible growth, especially in areas where demand is strong.
One of the new locations, a company representative, Nakia Rohde, said, will be in Sherman Oaks, a Los Angeles, California neighborhood—a sign that California remains at the center of Trader Joe’s plans.

4. What’s next?
As U.S. retail sales climb and consumer demand is strong, Trader Joe’s remains a step ahead by choosing high-growth markets to open in. Beware—your local store may be next.
And when the time comes to move, it would not be a bad idea to check if Trader Joe’s is present there or not!
