The United States has very strong competition in the world of supermarkets, one of these competitors is Trader Joe’s, which is located in 42 U.S. states, with a representation of more than 500 stores throughout the United States.
This year they are looking to continue expanding and taking their culture of affordable prices throughout the U.S., a task that not only stays there but also their products are usually from local and entrepreneurial chains.
Where will we see Trader Joe’s this year?
Trader Joe’s has been known for being a supermarket store that makes its own products in a very particular way and with unique flavours that attract people. This is coupled with the qualified staff they also have in their stores.
In this year 2024, they want to start in the best way and intend to be located in 4 specific states, which are the following:
- Maryland
- Utah
- Oregon
- Rhode Island
Located at 4429 Calvert Road. Maryland is getting ready to welcome Trader Joe’s for the tenth time, it will open its doors on October 27th at 8 am, with a ribbon cutting ceremony and some special prizes for its first customers.
This space will be adjacent to the University of Maryland, a strategic location that will serve as a complement to the university, airport and soccer stadium that is centred in that particular area.
