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

“It could be an area where there are no Trader Joe’s stores currently available,” he said during the episode. “Although it might be an area that’s really densely populated and the traffic patterns are such that going from one Trader Joe’s to another neighborhood might be close, but it might take a long time, that might be interesting.”

He said Trader Joe’s criteria for locations “is about accessibility and ease of ingress and egress, and the flow of traffic patterns.”
Trader Joe’s “is not interested in growth by simply buying another chain and putting another sign on the building,” Sloan also said.

“It wouldn’t really feel like a neighborhood Trader Joe’s,” he said. “So we’re looking at things that are opportunities for us to make that neighborhood store a great Joe Trader for that area.”
