Trader Joe's has added 16 new locations to its list of stores that are "coming soon!" The company operates stores across 42 states, leaving only Alaska, Hawaii, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Mississippi, and West Virginia without locations Nakia Rohde, a spokesperson for the Monrovia, California-based company, said it adds to the "Store Openings" tab on its announcement page "almost every month." The company had announced 21 new locations the previous time USA TODAY surveyed the page in April. Since then, the company has opened six of the previously announced locations, including one in the Sherman Oaks neighborhood of Los Angeles, which is across the street from the already existing Riverside Drive store. Rohde told USA TODAY at the time that the company intends to keep both locations open, saying that the new store "is bigger and has an attached underground parking lot."

Target is opening stores across 22 states... here's where your nearest will be
Target is opening stores in 22 states, adding to nearly 2,000 already operating in the US. The company announced plans to launch 48 stores 'from the Big Apple to the California coast and in between.' Future stores are selected based on factors like community needs, site constraints, and where Target stores are already operating. Out of the 48 stores, Florida and Texas tie for the most location opening count at six. Other states that will get one or more new Target stores are Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Kentucky, Ohio, Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Nebraska, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Utah. The news of the store openings comes as the company has suffered a sales slump, and some employees have become fearful of potential job losses. Several employees have also leaked price rises on various products due to President Donald Trump's tariffs. The US economy had already been concerning for shoppers due to inflation and constant fears of recession. Target recently had a disappointing first quarter after sales dropped by 2.8 percent to $23.85 billion. Part of the reason behind the soft sales was a widespread boycott of the company for ditching its DEI efforts. Retail expert Neil Saunders, of GlobalData, believes the store openings will 'boost sales and add to Target's revenue.' Even though its sales were unimpressive in the first quarter of the year, the company highlighted an increase in digital sales, including its delivery services through Target 360. The retailer has begun working on ways to get back on track financially, including self-checkout station removals. It's also reportedly testing a new shipping model, which would deliver products directly to customers' homes from factories. The company is expecting a low-single-digit decline in sales this year. 'Target needs to remain sharp on pricing as consumers are weary of inflation and it faces increased competition from chains like Walmart. If Target doesn't remain competitive on price it will lose customers,' Saunders told Walmart, one of Target's biggest competitors, has also struggled in recent months. The chain warned shoppers in November about price hikes that could take effect if tariffs imposed by Trump were to go through. The company, along with Target, issued another statement about increases, which ultimately became a reality in May. The retailer also announced it would lay off around 1,500 workers. But this hasn't stopped the chain from working on its massive revamp or implementing AI-powered 'Scan & Go' technology at Sam's Club. has reached out to Target for comment about store opening dates.

Canadian grocers bet big on new stores – but can the market keep up?
Canada's largest grocers are ramping up store openings after years of slow growth, but simultaneous expansion across the industry could strain earnings. 'Acceleration across the industry will be problematic,' said John Zamparo, equity research analyst at Scotiabank, in a report. He predicts the move will result in one or more of lower returns on invested capital or margins, lower price-to-earnings multiples, higher lease costs or altered plans. 'It seems highly implausible to us that all five of the major grocers in Canada can concurrently accelerate square footage growth, particularly in a flat/declining population scenario with no downside,' he added. In the first quarter of 2025, Statistics Canada reported that population growth was so small it amounted to 0.0 per cent growth. While major grocers like Loblaw, Empire and Metro are investing in new store openings and renovations to meet shifting consumer preferences for discount and fresh-food formats, flat population growth, and therefore fewer new customers, could limit sales growth. Retail expert Bruce Winder says this likely accounts for the grocers' specific short-term expansion plans. 'They've left quite a bit of room for manoeuvring in subsequent years,' he said. Zamparo expects industry-wide square footage growth won't become topical for at least a few more quarters as projects get underway. Loblaw ( plans to open 80 new stores in 2025 as part of a $10 billion, five-year investment, with about 50 of those being hard discount locations like No Frills. It also plans to renovate over 300 grocery and pharmacy locations. Sobeys' parent Empire ( will add 24 new locations in fiscal 2025, including Farm Boy and FreshCo banners. Metro ( is expanding its discount banners in 2025, with seven new Food Basics stores planned in Ontario—three already open—and five new Super C locations launched in Quebec over the past year, a spokesperson told Yahoo Finance Canada. Both banners are set to continue growing into 2026 with more store openings planned. The company has also added a new Metro store in Ontario and will open a new Adonis specialty store. Metro is consistently renovating existing locations, though not all renovations will result in an increase in store size, the spokesperson says. Walmart Canada (WMT) is investing $6.5 billion to build dozens of new stores and expand its supply chain, starting with five new supercentres in Ontario and Alberta by 2027. Costco (COST), meanwhile, plans to open 27 new warehouses in fiscal 2025, at least two of which will be in Canada. Winder says major Canadian grocers are 'reading the room,' and see that many consumers are value-focused right now, and changing their store mix accordingly. And, since Costco and Walmart have gained greater market share over the past decade, the best way for grocers like Empire, Metro and Loblaw to fight back is through discount channels, he adds. Some of these new formats will also be high-end type grocers, like Farm Boy, adds Matthew Smith, executive vice-president of national retail investment at JLL. Over the past decade, major grocers 'took their foot off the gas' on building traditional suburban grocery stores, Smith says. And then Covid-19 happened, which also slowed expansions, and grocers pivoted to pickup and home delivery options. Now, they're catching up. Currently, there's a big push for grocers to open more traditional grocery stores, and also for developers to build more retail space to meet that demand, he says. However, the biggest challenge will be the cost, Smith says. 'Grocery in general is a margin business so rents can only be so high to make the business sense of operating a grocery store,' he said. And costs for land and construction have all climbed in the last 15 years, Smith says. There's likely more demand from the grocers than there is development going on, and since the grocers can only pay so much, it's going to be a struggle to develop at the pace they need. 'Unfortunately, the only way to be able to afford more rent is if they're making more money, and the only way to make more money is if they're charging more to the consumer,' he said. 'It's a razor's edge in terms of trying to develop these stores at the rents grocers can pay.' One way grocers may get around the high cost of building new stores is by moving into former box stores, while making their own modifications, Smith says, such as a former Bed, Bath and Beyond or Toys R Us. That's opening up new opportunities where they don't have to build a new store at their expense. Expansion in the form of new stores will ultimately lead to greater convenience, he says, adding: "More grocery stores closer to more people is a benefit for everyone."

Big Lots set to open more than 70 stores: Is your store on the list?
A number of Big Lots stores are slated to open next week. After announcing that store openings would come in waves in 2025, more than 70 stores are planned to reopen nationwide on May 15, only two weeks after 60 stores opened in a dozen states on May 1. The two rounds of May store openings come on the heels of nine Big Lots openings across six states on April 10. Another round of openings is set to take place through early June. The openings come months after Big Lots announced its sale to Gordon Brothers Retail Partners. As part of the deal, Variety Wholesalers acquired 219 Big Lots stores, as well as two distribution centers. "We're thrilled to bring the Big Lots! brand back to life by offering more deals than ever, lots of famous brands and a new apparel department for the entire family," Variety Wholesalers CEO Lisa Seigies said in a news release on April 4. Big Lots openings on May 15 are set to take place in 13 states: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Mississippi, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia. Apart from Variety Wholesalers, other retailers have announced the purchase of Big Lots locations. Rhode Island-based Ocean State Job Lot announced in March that it would be buying 15 Big Lots locations in New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, Massachusetts, Maine and Vermont. Earlier in February, Ollie's Bargain Outlet said it would be buying 40 former Big Lots store locations. Fernando Cervantes Jr. is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
