Update on opening of new Trader Joe’s in Leesburg

Work continues quickly on the new Trader Joe’s coming to Leesburg — and we have an update from the corporate headquarters on when they hope to open the new grocery store.

Construction crews continue to swarm the space in the Fort Evans Plaza II shopping center. The nearly 15,000 s.f. store was carved out of the space left vacant by the JoAnn Fabric store when it moved to Sterling.

Meanwhile, outside, a major revision is underway to the facade of the space in order to give it a unique Trader Joe’s look.

The Burn — which first broke the news about Trader Joe’s coming to Leesburg back in February — reached out to the company’s HQ for any inkling of an update.

While there’s no official date to be shared yet, a spokesperson told us their intention is to open in late 2024 — so it shouldn’t push into 2025.  We’ll keep our fingers crossed that this timeline stays on track.
