Trader Joe’s ambitious expansion strategy

Trader Joe’s is accelerating its expansion, opening 34 new stores in 2024—more than three times the number added in 2023.
Trader Joe’s expansion strategy focuses on strengthening its presence in existing markets rather than entering new states. The grocer can do this because even when Trader Joe’s opens multiple locations in the same neighborhood, each location offers a unique shopping experience.
Some Trader Joe’s locations embrace the city’s nostalgic charm, while others are a little more modern. There isn’t a blueprint for Trader Joe’s store differentiation strategy, but each location has the ‘same same but different’ flavor.
In 2024, Trader Joe’s year-over-year visit growth consistently outpaced the broader grocery sector. This growth was driven by the company's low prices, unique private-label products, and expansion of new locations, a trend the company plans to continue in 2025.
