When selecting a location for a new store, Trader Joe’s marketing executives Tara Miller and Matt Sloan once explained in a 2024 episode of the “Inside Trader Joe’s” podcast that the company seeks out spaces that meet specific criteria for population density, traffic patterns and parking availability, among other factors.

The two also emphasized that Trader Joe’s is very deliberate about its “controlled growth,” and may even avoid moving into spaces that housed former chain grocery stores, as it wouldn’t “feel” like a Trader Joe’s.

The company has, however, raised eyebrows with the opening of its newest store in Sherman Oaks, California, which opened directly across the street from an existing Trader Joe’s in June.

“I just asked the worker, ‘How long is the other Trader Joe’s going to stay open?’” a TikTok user by the name of @ShavsPaper claimed in a recent viral video. “And she said, “Um, they just signed their lease. They just resigned their lease. So at least three years.”

At the time, a representative for Trader Joe’s also told Nexstar that the company planned to keep “both stores open” for the foreseeable future.
