PALM HARBOR — Trader Joe’s announced it will open another grocery store in Pinellas County this year.

The California-based grocery store chain has listed 33591 U.S. 19 N. in Palm Harbor as “coming soon” on its website, with the store expected to open sometime this year.

This will be the fifth store to open in the Tampa Bay area, following St. Petersburg, Tampa, Sarasota and most recently Lakewood Ranch locations. It’s the chain’s 10th store to open in Florida.

“We’ve consulted our maps and compass and have found a terrific location for a store in Clearwater,” reads a press release. “We are proud to be joining the neighborhood.”

An opening date for the store has not been released. The store will take over a former 40,386-square-foot SteinMart space and join a Michael’s craft store, Orangetheory and Famous Footwear in the Highland Lakes Plaza.

The anticipated opening comes with much fanfare to North Pinellas residents, who have petitioned to bring the chain with a cult following to the area for years. Another grocer chain — an Amazon Fresh store — may be filling a former Winn-Dixie space at 2519 N. McMullen Booth Road later this year, too.
