Kolbie PetersonTwo new Trader Joe’s locations are coming to the southwest part of Salt Lake County, a company spokesperson confirmed Wednesday.
In an email, a representative for Trader Joe’s said “we have plans” for stores in South Jordan and West Jordan, but “we do not yet have locations or timelines to confirm,” she wrote.
However, a clue to the South Jordan location can be found on a permit application filed with the city by VP Daybreak Operations LLC.
The application is for a new commercial building to be built at 11167 S. Grandville Ave. in South Jordan, and under “description of work” it says “Trader Joe’s Store #358.”
According to Google Maps, that address is in Daybreak, behind the Megaplex theater.
The location for the West Jordan store has not been made public.
Last October, the city of Herriman announced on Facebook that it was getting a Trader Joe’s store, at The Commons at Herriman Towne Center at 13400 South near Mountain View Corridor. The company confirmed in March that the Herriman store was “coming soon.” On Wednesday, though, the company spokesperson didn’t provide an opening date.
The Herriman store would be the eighth Trader Joe’s to open in Utah, and the South Jordan and West Jordan stores would be the ninth and 10th.
The grocery chain has stores in Riverdale, Holladay, Cottonwood Heights, Draper and Orem, plus two in Salt Lake City — one on 400 South near 600 East, the other in Sugar House.
