New Florida Trader Joe's grocery store planned for Indian River County

The Treasure Coast could be getting a Trader Joe's grocery store in 2027. The popular California-based grocery chain opened a new Orlando location Nov. 5, but more Florida stores are planned for 2027, including one in Vero Beach, according to company spokesperson Nakia Rohde . "Next year, we plan to add new Trader Joe’s in Boynton Beach, Orlando, Kissimmee, Maitland, Central Naples, and Vero Beach," Rohde said. "We are actively looking at hundreds of neighborhoods across the country as we hope to open more new neighborhood stores each year." Trader Joe's typically adds a location on its official store finder once a lease is signed and permitting is underway.
