Trader Joe's coming to Palm Harbor

• The plaza was once home to a Stein Mart that closed after the company went belly-up in 2020.
• It's the fifth location in the Tampa Bay area, adding to stores in South Tampa, St. Petersburg, Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch.

What's next: The store is slated to open in 2024, although an exact date is TBD.

• "Our Crew is working hard so we can open our doors in 2024," the announcement says.

💭 Kathryn's thought bubble: Hopefully a new location will make the St. Pete store's parking lot feel less like the Hunger Games. 😵‍💫
