September 25. That's when Trader Joe's plans to open its store in Davie — becoming the chain's seventh store in South Florida and the 16th in Florida.
The 9,300-square-foot shop is set to open at 2296 S. University Drive at the Tower Shops.
Trader Joe's, based in California, has been rapidly expanding across South Florida since its arrival in October 2013. Another store — South Florida's eighth — is under development at 1590 N. Federal Highway in Fort Lauderdale. An opening date has not been announced.
The chain has more than 400 posts nationwide and is wildly popular among shoppers looking for organic, affordable food and more than 3,000 items under Trader Joe's private label, including Trader José's salsas, Trader Ming's fried rice and Trader Giotto's marinara sauces.
