Trader Joe’s is Coming To Dallas

The Dallas Morning News reported today that Trader Joe’s, the eclectic, wildly popular gourmet grocer, will be entering the Dallas market in the next 12 months, followed by stores in Houston and Austin.

The chain’s director of national PR issued this statement:

“Dallas, and frankly the entire state of Texas, is a place we’ve wanted to be for a long time. We are a company that grows in a very controlled and thoughtful way in order to maintain the Trader Joe’s customer experience. We’re excited about bringing Trader Joe’s to the wonderful cities, towns, and neighborhoods in and around Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and beyond. We are actively looking for sites and we’re anxious to identify some great locations and begin hiring crew members.”
