A new Trader Joe's is set to open and if you're looking to add some color to your yard -- Ciscoe Morris gives you some options! |
Lacey, Washington, is abuzz as the city welcomes its first Trader Joe's at 691 Sleater Kinney Rd SE, inside the former Rite Aid building.
Residents no longer have to travel to Olympia, gaining a convenient new spot for their favorite Trader Joe's finds.
The store has brought on more than sixty crew members locally, highlighting a strong community connection.
Doors are open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., with an opening day ribbon-cutting ceremony led by store captain Phil Brown.
In line with Trader Joe's values, all unsold but still good products will be given to local non-profits every day through the Neighborhood Shares Program.
This marks the 29th Trader Joe’s in Washington, adding to the region’s vibrant grocery scene and bringing fresh excitement to Lacey. Read More... |

Though a bit reserved at first, gentle patience and treats soon uncover her affectionate, playful heart.
Her leash manners are getting better each day, making her a promising companion for walks and adventures.

Her $90 adoption fee includes vital vet care, spaying or neutering, a microchip, and vaccinations.
