Trader Joe’s is Opening a Second Bellingham Location — Here’s What You Need to Know

Big news for Bellingham shoppers and snack lovers alike: Trader Joe’s is opening its second location in town on Thursday, May 29 at 8AM! This highly anticipated addition will be located at 4255 Meridian St, Suite 200, in the former Bed Bath & Beyond building.

After months of speculation, building permits, and Trader Joe’s fans playing detective, confirmation came in November 2024 that a second store was officially on the way. The new “Trader Joe’s No. 274” brings all your cult-favorite products, think frozen orange chicken, fresh flowers, and seasonal snacks — to the north side of town in the bustling Meridian neighborhood.

This isn’t just a grocery store opening, it’s a community upgrade. A second Trader Joe’s means more access, less parking chaos, and another reason to love living in Bellingham.
