Can’t stop, won’t stop! That is the mentality of Trader Joe’s as it continues its streak of store expansions. Two dozen new stores are expected to open across the country, including eight in Southern California.
Nakia Rohde, Public Relations Manager, noted that the rate of openings “is faster than it’s been in the last few years,” before adding that, “Not a lot of businesses are growing their brick-and-mortar, so it’s nice.”
This may be in reference to the fierce competition within the grocery landscape, especially in Southern California.
According to a report from the Los Angeles Times, the new SoCal stores will be in South Pasadena, Northridge, Sherman Oaks, Santa Clarita, Ladera Ranch, Murrieta, Poway, and Santee. Opening dates have yet to be announced.
