Trader Joe’s Opening First Alabama Store
MONROVIA, CA – Trader Joe’s is expanding in the South with its first store in Alabama.
The new store will be approximately 12,600 square feet and is set to open in the second half of next year at The Summit Shopping Center in Birmingham, AL.
“We feel like this is an ideal location. There’s ample parking there that will service Trader Joe’s customers nicely, and we’re excited to have them on the property,” David Silverstein, Principal at Bayer Properties, told AL.com.
This new store should be good news for many Alabama residents. In a 2013 AL.com poll, readers chose Trader Joe’s as the retailer they most wanted in Alabama.
Trader Joe’s isn’t the only national retailer making the move into Alabama. Sprouts Farmers Market announced last month that it will be opening its first store in that state in 2015 as well.
