Trader Joe's is opening 18 new stores in 12 states. See where

Trader Joe's is gearing up for another big expansion, with 18 new stores set to open across the United States in the coming months.

The California‑based grocer, which operates in 42 states, will add locations in 12 states, building on momentum after two new stores opened earlier this year. The move underscores the grocery store chain's steady growth strategy as demand continues to climb for its low‑cost, private‑label groceries.

The new stores are planned for Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, Utah, and Washington. The company has already opened locations in Hamden, Connecticut, and Miller Place, New York, since the start of 2026.

Here’s what to know about the upcoming openings.
