Trader Joe’s is "growing at a pretty good rate right now, adding more and more stores," Tara Miller, the company's vice president of marketing, said in an October episode of the Inside Trader Joe’s podcast.
She also said the chain was "growing at a pace that we can sustain."

"It could be an area where there is no currently available Trader Joe’s store," he said during the episode. "Although it might be an area that's really densely populated and traffic patterns are such that getting from one Trader Joe's to another neighborhood, it may be close, but it might take a really long time, that could be interesting."

He said Trader Joe’s criteria for locations "are really about access and ease of getting into and out of, and the flow of traffic patterns."
Trader Joe’s is "not interested in growth by just buying another chain and putting a different sign on the building," Sloan also said.

"It wouldn’t really feel like a neighborhood Trader Joe’s," he said. "So, we’re looking at things that are opportunities for us to make that neighborhood store a great Trader Joe’s for that area."
