Overview

• California, New York, Oklahoma and Texas each account for three of the planned sites, with additional openings in Louisiana, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Utah.
• Once these locations open, the privately held chain will surpass 600 nationwide stores, up from 581 outlets across 42 states and Washington, D.C.
• Projects are chosen through a data-driven process that factors in local population density, traffic access and parking availability to uphold the brand’s neighborhood store model.
• The company updates its “Store Openings” page almost every month and typically sets firm opening dates three to six months in advance as each project progresses.
• Eight states—Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Mississippi and West Virginia—remain without Trader Joe’s stores, reflecting its deliberate market entry approach.
