Can You Guess Which States Don't Have A Trader Joe's?

It wasn't so long ago when you could still consider yourself to be very fortunate if there was a Trader Joe's within driving range from you. The supermarket chain, which is a thing of cultish devotion to many, is extremely picky about where it chooses to open new locations, and does tons of due diligence and market research before investing in a new outpost.

There are currently 465 locations of Trader Joe's in the U.S., with more opening all the time, and there are only a handful of states with no Trader Joe's in them: Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Mississippi, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, West Virginia, and Wyoming. You can find a listing of every single Trader Joe's location here; it's updated monthly.

If you feel strongly that your town would be a perfect location for a TJ's, you can shoot them an email here and plead your case. But just remember: They're really picky. If you are lucky enough to have a TJ's near you, these 53 products are employees' favorites.
