If you ask people what their favorite grocery store is, chances are “ Trader Joe’s ” will garner several mentions. And even though the California-based chain isn’t for everyone , it still remains one of the most popular brands in the country, known for a wide variety of interesting snacks, frozen meals that actually taste good, drool-worthy desserts, and more. Since Trader Joe’s is (largely) beloved, it should come as no surprise that the company is planning to open even more stores in several states this year, including New Jersey, California, and more. In fact, some are already open, while more than a dozen additional TJ’s outposts are in the works.
We rounded up the current list of 2026 Trader Joe's store openings below, and we'll add to the list as more new stores are announced.
