Trader Joe’s is opening 18 new stores—here’s the full list of locations

It’s about to get a bit easier to find a Trader Joe’s near you. The grocer just announced it will open 18 new stores across 12 states, including multiple locations in a handful of states, over the next several months.

Trader Joe’s announced the new locations with a series of “Coming Soon!” announcements. Currently, the chain is in 42 states, leaving only a handful of states, including Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming, without a Trader Joe’s store.

The latest cluster of openings will include locations in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, Utah, and Washington. 

The expansion is just the latest set of new store openings for Trader Joe’s, as the chain has already announced eight new locations earlier this year. That was after it opened around 30 new stores in 2025, bringing its total to over 600 stores in the U.S.

On a recent episode of the “Inside Trader Joe’s” podcast, TJ’s marketing executives Tara Miller and Matt Sloan opened up about how the company decides on new locations sites, explaining that population density, traffic patterns, which may dictate how easy it is to get to the location, and ample parking, are all factors in the decision-making process. 

“We’re adding lots of stores,” Miller explained. “Even though we’re a company that’s been in business for close to 60 years at this point, we are growing.” The executive added that, while the brand is opening many new stores, it’s a process that doesn’t “happen overnight,” but is done carefully and with a lot of intention.

“We’re growing at a pace that we can sustain,” Miller added.
