"It just depends. It could be an area where there is no currently available Trader Joe's store. Although it might be an area that's really densely populated and traffic patterns are such that getting from one Trader Joe's to another neighborhood, it may be close, but it might take a really long time," he said.

Trader Joe’s will open a new store in east Vancouver on Friday, the company said. The latest southwest Washington store at 16701 S.E. Mill Plain Blvd. covers just under 10,500 square feet at the Columbia Crossing Shopping Center.

Exploring Trader Joe’s is always an enjoyable adventure, whether you’re browsing their seasonal selections or discovering options suitable for every dietary preference, including vegetarian and gluten-free.
