Fast-Growing Grocery Chain Expands Again In MA

The beloved brand will open another location as part of a major downtown development.

QUINCY, MA — Trader Joe's is adding another Massachusetts location. The chain says a store is "coming soon" to Quincy.

The City of Quincy confirmed the rumors in a Facebook post, stating that Trader Joe's has a design submission on file.

The grocery store will be the anchor retail tenant for a downtown development project on McConville Way, the city said. The mixed-use project will include 300 new housing units and a 100,000-square-foot medical facility operated by Beth-Israel Deaconess Medical Center.
