Cheaper Than Walmart: 21 New Stores

A grocery chain hailed for its low prices is set to expand its store portfolio by opening more than 20 new locations.

And, the expansion will not stop there as more locations could be announced over the course of the year.

Trader Joe’s is to open a raft of new locations this year. The store has been praised for its low prices and unique products. Soon, there will be more than 600 Trader Joe’s stores across the US as 21 new sites are set to open.

Shoppers in a slew of states, including Washington DC, Alabama, California, Louisiana, New York, and Pennsylvania will be treated to new stores. Stores in Tennessee and Washington have already opened. One location in Murfreesboro opened on April 10, and a new store in Seattle opened its doors to the public on April 11.

Trader Joe’s bosses have been tight-lipped on when the stores will be open. Shoppers are being kept on edge, as chiefs only say new locations are “coming soon.” New locations will be added to the retailer’s website.

Trader Joe’s shoppers flock to the grocery chain for its low prices. One fan claimed the grocery store chain is one thousand times better than Walmart. Others have praised the retailer after scoring significant savings. A shopper boasted on X, “Trader Joe’s is cheaper than Walmart,” and added, “I saved $40 a week switching. TJ all the way every day now, well once a month.”

Trader Joe’s was inundated with praise over its relatively cheap cartons of eggs. Shoppers were restricted to just one carton in light of the egg shortage. Fans have divulged into the reasons why Trader Joe’s has the advantage over its competitors. The company doesn’t stock named brands, while bosses try to keep costs down by stocking some items in boxes. Trader Joe’s doesn’t run promo or coupon deals, and stores are relatively small.

There are only a handful of states where Trader Joe’s doesn’t have a presence. These include states such as Hawaii, Montana, South Dakota, Wyoming, and West Virginia. Trader Joe’s is known for its own branded products, which are often cheaper than name-brand products.

Conclusion

Trader Joe’s expansion is great news for shoppers who are looking for affordable grocery options. With its unique products and low prices, Trader Joe’s has become a favorite among many consumers. As the chain continues to grow, it will be interesting to see how it affects the grocery market and whether other stores will follow suit.
