A new Trader Joe’s is now open and offering groceries in west McKinney.
The store debuted May 7 with a ribbon-cutting event as customers lined up to enter the new store.
The specifics
The 9,593-square-foot store is located at the corner of Eldorado Parkway and Stonebridge Drive and sells store-branded basics, like eggs and cheese, along with produce, baked goods, frozen meals, and appetizers and packaged meats.
More than 40 local residents have been hired to work at the store, and Trader Joe’s transferred 30 additional employees from other stores, a company release states. This store is also part of the company’s Neighborhood Shares Program, which aids local groups.
“The new McKinney Trader Joe’s will donate 100% of products that go unsold but remain fit to enjoy to a range of nonprofit, community-based organizations, seven days a week,” the release states.
The context
The city’s second Trader Joe’s store opened in the 14-acre Eldorado Neighborhood Shops development, a grocer-anchored mixed-use development that was announced in late 2024.
Eldorado Neighborhood Shops is approximately 80% leased and includes tenants such as Chipotle, Verizon, Sherwin-Williams and FedEx, according to a release from SLX Capital, the Plano-based real estate company behind the development.
