Trader Joe’s is “growing at a good rate right now, adding more stores,” said Tara Miller, the company’s vice president of sales, on an October episode of the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast.
He also said that the chain is “growing at a pace that we can sustain.”

“It could be a place where there isn’t a Trader Joe’s store,” he said during the episode. “Even though it might be a really crowded area and the traffic patterns are like going from one Trader Joe’s to another, it might be close, but it might take a really long time, that might be interesting.”

He said Trader Joe’s criteria for locations “is about access and ease of ingress and egress, and the flow of traffic patterns.”
Trader Joe’s “isn’t interested in growing by just buying another chain and putting a different brand on the building,” Sloan said.

“It really wouldn’t sound like a local Trader Joe’s,” he said. “So, we’re looking at things that are our opportunities to make that neighborhood store the biggest Trader Joe’s for that area.”
