Why Won’t Trader Joe’s Come to the Tri-Cities? New Store Going Elsewhere in WA

No official date has been listed for the grand opening of the Lacey, Washington, but I'm sure it'll be a smashing success.

So Tri-Cities is left on the list again, a little bummed up as always, but crossing fingers that we'll someday get our own Trader Joe's.

Here's the official announcement from Trader Joe's:

We've consulted our maps and compass and have found a terrific location for a store in Lacey, WA. We are proud to be joining the neighborhood, and to continue our commitment to providing nourishment to the surrounding communities through our Neighborhood Shares program.

Our Crew is working hard so we can open our doors. We’ll continue to post new details about the store and its opening here, so please check back for updates. We look forward to seeing you!

Congrats again, Trader Joe's on the new locations, and let's keep hoping for a Tri-Cities location in the future.
