Trader Joe’s new store openings: Updated list of locations that are expected to open soon

This year has so far been a pretty brutal one when it comes to store closures. Hundreds of retail stores have already shuttered due to everything from cost-cutting to bankruptcies. Major store closures so far in 2025 have included Rite Aid, Forever 21, Joann, Party City, Kohl’s, and Big Lots. But one major store chain seems to be bucking the trend by opening new locations. That store is the popular grocery chain Trader Joe’s. Despite some controversies and questionable alleged business practices as reported earlier this year by Fast Company, the chain is still beloved by many diehard adherents. And now it seems like Trader Joe’s is capitalizing on that popularity by opening at least 22 new stores in the near future. The chain currently has 581 stores spanning 42 states and Washington, D.C., according to USA Today. But soon 13 of those states and D.C. will be adding additional stores. (For context, Chain Store Age reported back in March 2024 that Trader Joe’s had “more than 500” locations.) Here’s the full list of Trader Joe’s’ new stores that are opening, according to data from the company’s “opening soon” tool on its store locator website. Fast Company reached out to Trader Joe’s to confirm the accuracy of the store locator figure and ask if any additional store openings are being planned. We will update this story if we hear back.
