Trader Joe's is one of the most beloved grocery stores in the U.S., known for low prices, convenient frozen meals, and products that regularly go viral online. But for many people, shopping there means driving out of town.
That may be about to change. Trader Joe's is continuing its national expansion, with new locations confirmed in cities across the country. While not all have official opening dates yet, many are set to open later this year or in 2026.
Here's where you might be able to shop at a brand-new Trader Joe's soon.
Arizona
A new store is coming to the intersection of N. Bullard Ave. and McDowell Rd. in Goodyear. It's part of a shopping center that will also include a Black Rock Coffee Bar and Firebirds Wood Fired Grill, scheduled for 2026.
