STORY SUMMARY:
Trader Joe's, a unique, neighborhood grocery store with foods and beverages from the exotic to the basic, is preparing for the opening of its first two Texas stores – one in Fort Worth and the other in The Woodlands.

The Fort Worth store captain, Doug Campbell, is leading his staff in the preparation for the grand opening at the Fort Worth store, located at 2701 South Hulen Street. The new store is about 12,500 square feet and features a festive decor mixing traditional Trader Joe's cedar covered walls, Hawaiian-inspired elements combined with a local flare including art that celebrates the neighborhood. Throughout the grocery store there are several colorful hand painted murals that pay homage to the Historic Chisholm Trail, TCU, Trinity Park, Fort Worth's Skyline and more.

The Woodlands store is located at 10868 Kuykendahl Road (inside The Woodlands Crossing Shopping Center) and is approximately 13,500 square feet. It's led by Captain Josh Letto and features a similar decor with hand painted murals featuring Market Street, Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, The Downtown Bridge and Fountain, Waterway Trolley and more.

Both locations will open Friday, June 15th at 8:00 am. To kick off the official opening, each Trader Joe's captain and their crew will gather for a ceremonial lei cutting and welcome new customers – Trader Joe's style. The celebrations will continue throughout the day with live music, food demonstrations and raffles.
