Trader Joe’s announced it has signed a lease to open its first area grocery store next year in Jacksonville Beach at Florida A1A and Butler Boulevard.
The 12,500-square-foot store will open in the South Beach Regional Shopping Center and feature a décor that mixes traditional Trader Joe’s elements, such as cedar-covered walls and Hawaiian motifs, combined with art celebrating the neighborhood.
The Monrovia, Calif.-based company said it offers more than 3,000 items under the Trader Joe’s private label, which includes Trader José’s salsas, Trader Ming’s fried rice, Trader Giotto’s marinara sauces, in addition to specially purchased items.
