UNITED STATES - Trader Joe’s news is both a rarity and a gift in this industry. I know that I’ve waxed poetic about Trader Joe’s before, but it’s definitely a retailer that evokes immediate interest no matter your grocery industry affiliation. Most recently, the retailer entered the newswire once more with the announcement of multiple new store openings.
According to company releases, the retailer is opening new stores in Milpitas, California; Fort Wayne, Texas; Richmond, Virginia; and Freehold, New Jersey—taking the most recent phase of growth from the U.S. West to the East Coast.
As Trader Joe’s opens stores in hot (i.e. competitive) markets, it is also doubling down on investing in plant-based partners like Impossible Foods and revealing inside secrets on how its supply chain strategies have helped it weather industry-shaking events like COVID-19.
As we here at AndNowUKnow continue to trace the course of this retail jetsetter, be sure to have a tab open for us.
