Why Trader Joe’s Expands Slowly
Despite the big numbers, Trader Joe’s still follows a careful site-selection process. Executives weigh factors like population density, traffic flow, and parking—and they often avoid traditional grocery spaces to keep that signature TJ’s feel.
The chain now operates in 42 states plus D.C., but some areas—like Hawaii, Mississippi, West Virginia, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Alaska—still don’t have a store. Fans in those regions are encouraged to request locations on Trader Joe’s website.
The Takeaway
With 38 new stores on the horizon, Trader Joe’s is edging past the 600-store milestone while holding onto its neighborhood charm, affordable prices, and beloved private-label goods. Whether you’re craving ube treats, Unexpected Cheddar, or just a shorter checkout line, there’s a good chance a brand-new Trader Joe’s could soon be opening near you.
