When I lived in Los Angeles a few summers ago, I fell in love with Trader Joes.  I, along with many other shoppers, love Trader Joe’s because of the varied food and drinks it carries, and they’re offered at great prices. Trader Joe’s has an incredible bakery and offers more than 3,000 signature items. After moving back to South Florida, I would have friends mail me my beloved Trader Joe’s brand granola, fresh baked cookies and other goodies.

Naturally I was overjoyed to learn that Palm Beach County residents will be getting not one, but two Trader Joe’s stores in the near future.

Last month Trader Joe’s announced it that it would be opening a location in Palm Beach Gardens at the PGA Plaza center, located at the southwest corner of PGA Boulevard and Prosperity Farms Road.

It was also just announced that Trader Joe’s will be opening a store in Boca Raton in 2014, according to a release from the company.  The new Boca Raton store will be around 12,500 square feet and will offer beer, wine and “distinctive products.”  The store will be located inside East City Center, located at 855 South Federal Highway.

Both stores are scheduled to open in 2014, although an exact opening date has not yet been given.
