Trader Joe's Opening New Locations In 7 States, Including GA

JOHNS CREEK, GA — Trader Joe’s recently announced plans for eight new stores nationwide, including one in Johns Creek.

The store will be located at 1000 Medley Blvd., according to the company’s website.

In addition to Georgia, the new locations, all listed online as “opening soon,” will include stores in Texas, Kansas, Washington, Arizona, Florida and two in Louisiana.

The planned locations come as Trader Joe’s has opened 19 new stores across the country since late October.

There are 631 Trader Joe’s locations in the U.S. as of earlier this month, 206 of which are in its home state of California, according to the data company ScrapeHero. There are eight locations in Georgia.

When the company chooses to open a new store, it takes into account population density and draw, site access, traffic patterns and parking, marketing executives Tara Miller and Matthew Sloan said in a 2024 episode of the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast, according to the episode transcript.

“This is very deliberate, and for us, what's important is that it's controlled growth,” Sloan said in the episode, according to the transcript. “We have to grow in a way that fits our business model.”
