Trader Joe’s targets hot markets for store expansion

Trader Joe’s has opened three new stores so far this month with an eye toward capturing a slice of growing markets in New York, California, Colorado and North Carolina. The grocer’s new location in Colorado Springs is a wine shop in a state where groceries and alcohol must be sold separately, and plans call for new locations in Brooklyn, New York’s Upper East Side and Sacramento, which are areas with surging real estate markets.
