When choosing new store locations, Trader Joe’s takes a thoughtful, data-driven approach. As shared on the “Inside Trader Joe’s” podcast, marketing execs Tara Miller and Matt Sloan say the company considers factors like population density, traffic flow, and parking — and they tend to avoid spaces that previously housed large chain supermarkets. Why? Because it just wouldn’t feel like a Trader Joe’s.
And for those wondering if petitions or community campaigns can influence where Trader Joe’s opens next — probably not. “We’re excited when people are excited about us, but that’s really not what’s driving the decisions,” Miller explained.
