The company’s website currently lists 12 planned locations “opening soon” across seven states and Washington, D.C. (A representative for Trader Joe’s confirmed to Nexstar that all of those locations are expected to open in 2025.)

More upcoming locations will be added to the list as they are announced “throughout the year,” according to a company spokesperson.

The cities where shoppers can expect a new Trader Joe’s to open in 2025 — as well as the addresses for those stores — currently include:

• Hoover, Alabama — 1771 Montgomery Highway
• Northridge, California — 9224 Reseda Boulevard
• Sherman Oaks, California — 14140 Riverside Drive
• Tarzana, California —18700 Ventura Boulevard

• Berwyn, Pennsylvania — 550 Lancaster Ave
• Murfreesboro, Tennessee —2305 Medical Center Parkway

• Seattle, Washington — 8726 Greenwood Avenue

The Trader Joe’s website did not offer additional details about projected opening dates.

1. And we STILL can't get one!

We have an Aldi, but honestly, the last time I went, I could have sworn I was in Dollar General. Couldn't find anything, and the non-grocery aisles had expanded to 4!

I live in Harrisonburg, VA, which is a pretty affluent college town. You would think if they could put one in Murfrees-damn-boro, they could put one here!!!

[unweird]

2. Murfrees-damn-boro is a college town too

With a State Farm insurance regional HQ to boot. Quite a suburb community of Nashvegas.

5. And so?

What makes MTSU any better than James Madison University? We also are the HQ of Rosetta Stone. We also have Eastern Mennonite University.

[unweird]

9. School size seems equivalent so perhaps other factors are in play

Like population? Harrisonburg ~51k vs Murfreesboro ~165k would seem a likely reason.

10. Charlottesville population 2020 census

46,553. Guess again. Snobbery?

[unweird]

11. Still a third the size of Murfreesboro

But hey, I get it. You’re lightly populated villages and hamlets in Virginia don’t have enough Trader Joe’s.

12. But Charlottesville gets one

and Harrisonburg doesn't. Something stinks. We've been lobbying for one for some years and all we got was a badly managed Aldi.

6. It looks as if there aren't any between you and Charlottesville.

Happy New Year.

8. Exactly

Why do they get one and we don't?

3. DC 7th and Monroe will be a blessing to the Hospital staff and Students that live in Brookland

Brookland is the best neighborhood in DC. Single family and multi family mix, college life, medical staff from multiple hospitals, nightlife ( somewhat young from the college but fun just the same) the Shrine and Franciscan Monastery, Howard Divinity school, Theater at the college and a metro stop in the middle of it all!

4. EXCELLENT.

Another in Rockville, but none elsewhere in MD.

7. Our Trader Joe's, I'm happy to say, is only 0.7 miles from our house.

I’ve told my husband that if we ever move, we must be within a reasonable distance of a T Joe’s. We are there probably 3 times a week.
