Trader Joe’s, a popular boutique grocer known for cheap wine, snacks and hellmouth parking lots, will open its fifth Tampa Bay area store later this year.

According to Trader Joe’s website, the company is adding a new Pinellas County location in Palm Harbor at 33591 U.S.-Hwy 19 N.

No exact opening date has been confirmed, but the California-based grocer says it expects to open the store sometime in 2024.

The new outpost will be just the second in Pinellas County, and the the fifth  in the Tampa Bay region. Currently, the company has stores in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and most recently in Bradenton, which opened in October 2023.
