Trader Joe’s Coming To Ocean County?!?!?

Shoppers in Ocean County may just have their wishes granted with Trader Joe's expressing interest in opening a location in Brick.

On Wednesday, Kenya Friend-Daniel, the public relations director for Trader Joe's, confirmed there are discussions ongoing to bring the store and its unique private label offerings to Brick Township.

"We are interested in bringing a store to that location, and are taking the necessary steps to make that happen," she said. "However, plans are not finalized. I look forward to sharing additional information, if/when there's more to share."

If the company is able to come to terms on a site, it would be the first Trader Joe's in Ocean County. The nearest one currently for Ocean County residents is in Shrewsbury in Monmouth County. There are 13 locations in New Jersey currently.
