Trader Joe’s announced plans to open a location at 224 W. Dekalb Pike at the Valley Forge Center just a mile from the King of Prussia Mall this year. Trader Joe's will take over the space in Upper Merion Township once occupied by Bed Bath & Beyond, and join a tenant roster at Valley Forge Center that also includes Target, Michaels, Starbucks and PetSmart. Trader Joe's currently has three other Montgomery County stores in North Wales, Jenkintown and Ardmore. The company is known for its “neighborhood grocery stores” and unique products branded under its self-titled label. According to the announcement, Trader Joe’s is “working hard so we can open our doors in 2024.”
