New Trader Joe’s coming to Alabama town in 2025, will be 3rd in state

Trader Joe's will open another Alabama location - this time in Hoover - next year.

The city of Hoover made the announcement Thursday.

The new store will open in the space formerly occupied by Bed Bath and Beyond on Lorna Road.

A popular national chain of neighborhood grocery stores, Trader Joe's has made a name for itself with its variety of niche food products, alcohol and flowers. It has locations in Huntsville and at the Summit in Birmingham. (Mobile has pushed for a store location, but to no avail .)

In the announcement, the city of Hoover stated, "For months, the city worked with the shopping center owner on an incentive package to help make this announcement a reality!"

Attempts to reach city officials for further comment were not immediately successful.
