The new wave of store openings comes as Trader Joe’s continues expanding across the U.S.
WASHINGTON — Trader Joe’s is preparing to open nine new stores across the United States in the coming months, continuing its steady expansion in 2026.
The California-based grocer, which operates in more than 40 states, recently added nearly a dozen new locations to its “opening soon” list, building on momentum after opening new stores this year in Hamden, Connecticut; Tucson, Arizona; McKinney, West Texas; and Miller Place, New York.
The new stores will open across eight states including Michigan, New York, Ohio, Florida, Massachusetts, Illinois, Arizona and Utah. Trader Joe’s did not disclose the exact opening dates for each location.

Trader Joe’s spreading across the U.S.
Trader Joe’s has opened dozens of stores nationwide over the past two years.
The chain has built a loyal following for its rotating selection of seasonal and viral products, as well as its emphasis on private-label goods at relatively low prices.
Just last week, the grocer launched another viral item for the summer.
The new mini insulated tote bags were released on May 20, and supplies are limited. The bags have a 1.5-gallon capacity and come in six different colors, including pink, blue, orange, lavender and striped patterns.
The mini totes will retail for $3.99, according to Trader Joe’s. The bags feature a zipper top and two reinforced handles.
