Trader Joe's May Be Coming To Houston

POSTED: Tuesday, May 3, 2011

HOUSTON -- A popular grocery store chain could be making its way to Texas and Houston.

California-based Trader Joe's said it is looking to open multiple locations in and around the Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth areas.

The first store in the Lone Star State is expected to open in Dallas. No timeline was given.

A Trader Joe's spokeswoman said, "Dallas, and frankly the entire state of Texas, is a place we’ve wanted to be for a long time. We are a company that grows in a very controlled and thoughtful way in order to maintain the Trader Joe's customer experience. We're excited about bringing Trader Joe's to the wonderful cities, towns and neighborhoods in and around Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and beyond. We are actively looking for sites, and we’re anxious to identify some great locations and begin hiring crew members."

I just read another article that said they were looking at the building at the corner of Montrose and Westheimer (Blockbuster used to be there). I think that would be an awful location traffic wise.
