Trader Joe’s grocery to Open in Utah

Trader Joe’s, the popular southern California-based specialty grocery store that has enjoyed a cult following of customers, is opening its first store in Utah.

A spokesperson for the retail chain said the new store is to be located in Salt Lake City at 634 E. 400 South, a space formerly leased to clothier Old Navy and, most recently, a seasonal Halloween costume shop. 

The grocery store will open in the fourth quarter of this year, though the Trader Joe’s spokeswoman would not specify a date. The outlet will cover about 12,700 square feet, the average size of a Trader Joe’s. Salt Lake Tribune
