An opening date has been set for Bellingham’s second Trader Joe’s market
Bellingham, you may have an easier time finding a parking spot at Trader Joe’s as the new location now has an opening date.
Bellingham’s second Trader Joe’s location is set to open Thursday, May 29, according to a news release from the company.
“This 9,831-square-foot store will be the second Trader Joe’s in Bellingham,” the news release states. “Moments before the doors open at 8 a.m., Store Captain Brian Casey and Trader Joe’s crew members will host a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony and welcome customers to their new neighborhood store.”
The new store takes over the previous location of Bed Bath & Beyond at 4255 Meridian St., which closed in 2023.
“The crew has designed the store to immerse you in a Pacific Northwest experience at Trader Joe’s, like an outdoor excursion paired with great food and beverages,” the news release states. “As a neighborhood grocery store, Trader Joe’s prides itself on hiring from the local community. The store hired more than 30 new crew members from surrounding areas and transferred in others from neighboring Trader Joe’s stores.”
“In addition, through the company’s longstanding Neighborhood Shares Program, the new Bellingham (North) Trader Joe’s will donate 100% of products that go unsold but remain fit to enjoy to a range of nonprofit, community-based organizations, seven days a week.”
The grand opening ceremony will begin at 7:55 a.m. Thursday, May 29.
Trader Joe’s new location will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily at 4255 Meridian St., in the Cordata Center.
