I go to Trader Joe’s at least once a week. It is the only grocery store I willingly enter with enthusiasm, and when I retire, I fully expect to spend at least part of my time trying to unlock the elite bagging skills of a Trader Joe’s cashier. Everyone deserves access to that kind of experience, and now, more people just might get it.
Trader Joe’s is opening 18 new stores across 12 states over the next several months, continuing the chain’s very steady, very intentional growth across the country. The new batch of openings will land in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Louisiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Texas, Utah, and Washington.

That may not sound like a small move, because it isn’t. Trader Joe’s is already in 42 states, which means only a handful still don’t have one at all: Alaska, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming. So while the chain isn’t quite everywhere, it is getting harder and harder to say you’re being personally denied cauliflower gnocchi by the universe.
This latest expansion follows another busy stretch for the grocer. Trader Joe’s had already announced eight new locations earlier this year, after opening around 30 new stores in 2025.
Opening dates for the 18 new stores have not been pinned down publicly yet, but according to USA Today, they’re expected to roll out within the next three to six months. So if your state made the list, now is probably the time to start mentally preparing for a future that may include soup dumplings, seasonal ravioli, and the humbling realization that the cashier bagged 40 items better than you ever could.
