Trader Joe’s went through a major growth spurt in 2024, opening a whopping 34 new stores coast-to-coast. Last year’s uptick in store openings amounts to more than five times the amount opened in 2022 and triple the number the grocer debuted in 2023. Trader Joe’s is keeping up the rapid pace of store growth, with plans already in place this year for around a dozen locations. 

In 2024, Trader Joe’s primarily concentrated store growth to the back end of the year, with 23 locations — over half of the total openings last year — coming between October and December.
