New Stores Coming Soon

I was so excited to learn that there is a new Costco store coming soon to Maine. That’s where I’m moving this year.

Maine has never had a Costco before. In fact, whenever visiting Maine, if you want to shop at Costco, you have to drive to Nashua, New Hampshire or Danvers, Massachusetts.

Also, I was thrilled when Target finally opened in Maine.

Now if we can just get Aldi to open a store there so I don’t have to drive to Portsmouth, New Hampshire to shop there, that would be great.

New stores coming soon

Anyway, this is a long way of saying I know that I’m not the only brand-loyal shopper who loves to learn when a new store will be opening near them.

In fact, with all I’ve written about Nordstrom and Nordstrom Rack on this blog, I’ve had readers write to ask if I knew of new Nordstroms that would be opening soon.

So, I decided to put together this list of stores that will be opening locations in the coming year. Then, as time goes on, and I learn of more stores setting up shop near you, I’ll update this list.

Finally, I’ve arranged this list in alphabetical order by brand. Then, I’ve put in the city/town and state where the new stores will be. And if I know the expected opening date, I’ve added that, too.

Aldi stores opening this year

Whenever Aldi is getting ready to open a new location, they’ll offer a “sneak peek” day in advance of that opening. This gives local shoppers a chance to check out the store before its official first day.

For example, last January Aldi opened a new store in Bradenton, Florida. However, the month before, the store held one of those sneak peek events.

Here are more Aldi store locations coming soon, in alphabetical order by state.

Five Below stores coming soon

I can thank my daughters for turning me onto the awesomeness that is Five Below. From movie theater-size candy to inexpensive hand weights for exercise, I guarantee you’ll find something to buy at Five Below.

When I first shopped at Five Below, it was at the store in Newtown, Pennsylvania. Then, when I lived at the Jersey Shore, we would shop at the Brick, New Jersey location.

After that we moved to Western Pennsylvania, so I would need to go to Butler, PA to shop. Now we’ve settled in Southern Maine, and the closest Five Below to us is in Newington, New Hampshire.

In fact, it was on my last visit to that Five Below location that I went to see what kind of new workout equipment they had. I’m looking to pump up my Peloton room. I was thrilled to see this dumbbell rack, something I’ve had on my wish list.

New Five Below locations

I don’t mind driving to get to Five Below. However, I would like to drive less. Maybe you would, too. Well, the good news is that there are plenty of new Five Below locations opening soon, and a bunch more that have recently opened. I’ve outlined them all below.

Trader Joe’s store locations opening soon

At one time you could suggest locations where you’d like to see Trader Joe’s open a store. However, when I was researching this article about new Trader Joe’s stores, I no longer saw that link for suggestions.

However, in the Trader Joe’s FAQ, they ask you to email them to suggest stores. So maybe that’s where it ended up.

Anyway, as of right now, there are only three planned new Trader Joe’s locations. They are in the following places:

Florida

• Bradenton

New Jersey

• Middletown Township

New York

• Forest Hills, Queens

Wawa locations coming soon

I spent nearly two decades living in Wawa land. Then, when we moved to Western Pennsylvania, I had to get used to the Sheetz convenience store instead.

If you know anything about convenience store competitions, the one between Wawa fans and Sheetz fans is fierce. Think Eagles vs Steelers.

Anyway, I know that some readers want to know about Wawa stores opening this year. So, I’ve put together this list here.
