A new Trader Joe’s location opens soon in North Raleigh.
This will be the California-based grocer’s second store in the City of Oaks, joining an existing outpost in the Midtown area. Trader Joe’s also has locations in Cary, Morrisville and Chapel Hill.
More than 50 new crew members and about 20 transfers from nearby Trader Joe’s stores will staff the new location.
Here’s what we know about the store.
When and where will the new Trader Joe’s open?
