We've heard all about the new Aldi and Publix grocery stores coming to the Sunshine State, but what about other popular grocery chains?

Good news — Florida is among the states seeing new Trader Joe's locations pop up soon. Here's what to know.

What is Trader Joe's?

Customers shop in the deli meat aisle of a grocery store on October 17, 2024 in Miami, Florida. Products tested by the Agriculture Department's Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) came back positive for Listeria monocytogenes bacteria which initiated a recall of nearly 12 million pounds of ready-to-eat meat and chicken product items sold at major stores nationwide, including Publix, Trader Joe's, Wegmans, 7-Eleven and Kroger.

Trader Joe's might as well be considered the "wild west" of grocery stores. You're going in with a set list of items for tonight's dinner, and you're leaving with cannoli dip, tiny avocados and a frozen seafood boil.

It is a California-based grocery chain known for its unique selection of private-label products, which tend to be more affordable than those found in regular grocery stores.

"Our buyers travel the world searching for products we think are exceptional and will find a following among our customers," Trader Joe's writes online. "To earn a spot on our shelves, each product is submitted to a rigorous tasting panel process, in which every aspect of quality is investigated in context of the price we can offer."
