Trader Joe’s Grocery Store Set to Open in Myrtle Beach!
MYRTLE BEACH – Big news for grocery lovers in the area! The buzz is real, and it’s all about Trader Joe’s making its way to the Grand Strand. Ever since the beloved California-based grocer hinted at expanding its presence, folks have been clamoring to find out where the new store will land. Well, the latest scoop reveals that construction is already underway at the SayeBrook Town Center.
Where Is It Happening?
The excitement really kicked into high gear when the details popped up in Horry County building permit records. A building permit for the new store was officially issued on October 23, and let’s just say that fans of Trader Joe’s have been eagerly waiting for this moment for years! The site is snugly positioned across from Ulta Beauty at the corner of Sayebrook Parkway and Brookton Circle, right in the heart of the bustling SayeBrook Town Center, which already boasts other favorites like Target and Marshalls.
Getting Down to Business
According to the paperwork, the new grocery store is set to occupy a substantial 13,005-square-foot retail shell with a construction value coming in at nearly $1.7 million. That’s a whole lot of space for customers to explore all those unique snacks and delicious prepared meals that Trader Joe’s fans adore! The project is officially referred to in the county records as Sayebrook Parcel G1, but let’s not kid ourselves—everyone seems to be referring to it as “Trader Joe’s Shell” in discussions.
The Anticipation Grows
For anyone who’s tried to find Trader Joe’s offerings south of Wilmington or Mount Pleasant, this development comes as a huge relief. Not only will locals save time, but they’ll also have easy access to fan-favorites like the chili and lime flavored rolled corn tortilla chips and butter chicken with basmati rice that have social media buzzing with excitement. With their famously selective approach to choosing new locations, it’s great news that our town has caught Trader Joe’s eye!
The Company Keeps It Under Wraps
On November 13, attempts to get an official word from Trader Joe’s regarding the store’s opening timeline and official location garnered some radio silence. Spokesperson Nakia Rohde simply said that all new store announcements will appear on the company’s website. So, let’s keep our fingers crossed for some updates soon!
Trust the Process
As construction continues in SayeBrook, hopefully, the company will clear up some of that secrecy that has become synonymous with Trader Joe’s. It’s almost as if the excitement of delicious grocery discoveries is too much to keep under wraps! Residents in Myrtle Beach are already buzzing about the possibilities, and it’s evident that the community is ready to welcome this exciting addition.
So what do you think? Are you ready to stock up on your favorite Trader Joe’s goodies? With a sunny day around the corner, you might just want to take a stroll through SayeBrook to see this new development for yourself.
