Trader Joe’s is growing its footprint in Colorado. Demand for the grocery chain, recently ranked best for customer satisfaction, is rising across the country. Shoppers love the free samples served up by employees in Hawaiian shirts.

The new Trader Joe's store is one of 30 locations opening across the country in 2025, and it's the only new market opening in the Centennial State. So, where is the lucky Colorado community? Is it Grand Junction? No, actually.

The new Trader Joe's opens this week (on July 25th) at City Center Marketplace (92nd & Sheridan Blvd) in Westminster, Colorado. The store fills in a 25-mile gap between Boulder and Denver, where there was no Trader Joe's location. This new location is the 8th Trader Joe's Market in Colorado. Our state is also home to a couple of Trader Joe's Wine Shops, one in Denver and another in Colorado Springs.
