Trader Joe’s Plans to Add Eight SoCal Locations

Trader Joe’s plans to add eight grocery stores to its Southern California roster, representing one-third of the Monrovia-based retailer’s planned expansion nationwide, reported the Orange County Register. A spokeswoman told the Register there is “no timeline yet” for the openings. “When we establish an opening date, the website will be updated.” All eight locations are currently marked as “coming soon” on the Trader Joe’s website.

Los Angeles County will see four of the new locations, in South Pasadena, Northridge, Sherman Oaks and Santa Clarita. Orange County and Riverside County will each see one new location, with openings planned for Ladera Ranch and Murrieta, respectively, while new stores are on the drawing board for Santee and Poway in San Diego County.

Founded in 1967 in Pasadena, Trader Joe’s currently operates 549 locations in 42 states and Washington, DC. It rolled out new locations in San Francisco and Boston in May.
