Trader Joe's coming to Jax Beach

Jacksonville beach shoppers, come next year you'll have a new place to go grocery shopping.

Trader Joe's has announced it is bringing a location to Jacksonville Beach and it's scheduled to open in late 2014. The Jacksonville Business Journal reports the company has confirmed it has signed a lease on a space in the South Beach Regional Center at the intersection of A1A and JTB.

The California-based grocer already has stores in Gainesville, Tampa, and Tallahassee. Their emphasis is on organic and higher-quality items with no artificial additives or preservatives.
