Jacksonville in the running for Trader Joe's distribution center

In addition to retail locations, Trader Joe's is scouting Jacksonville for a mega-size distribution center site that would support its rapidly expanding presence in Florida and the Southeast.

Real estate sources, who asked not to be named because of the sensitivity of the deal, say Jacksonville and Southeast Georgia are in the running for a Trader Joe's warehouse facility up to 750,000 square feet, with refrigeration, to support its new stores.

Trader Joe's warehouse headed to Volusia County.

It's official: Trader Joe's newest warehouse will be built near Daytona Beach, not in Jacksonville.
Volusia County officials have been working with the cult favorite retailer since last summer, according to the Daytona Beach News Journal, and city and county governments have proposed up to $8 million in incentives.

Volusia is an interesting selection.  You don't hear of many major logistics facilities heading that way over other areas of Central Florida.

I95 and I4 seems like a good Florida distribution point.

[thelakelander]

Yeah but from my recollection, these types of facilities have located a little closer to US 27, the Turnpike and along rail lines in Central Florida.  In any event, this is great news for Volusia. Right now they have a lot going on, especially along the ISB corridor.

Atleast with a distribution center nearby more locations will open. I like Trader Joe's, but I'm not driving all the way out to the beaches.

I was quite impressed when I visited Trader Joe's in the Detroit area.  I don't normally cross the 'ditch' but it would be an occasional treat to drop by Trader Joe's...

Aldi isn't a bad thing either. For the thrifty, it is similar to a Save-a-Lot store, private labeled mixed with brand names in warehouse stacked setting. Add a Family Dollar Store for variety with the two halves about equal in size... SMALL. Really though a pretty cool little place for those deep discount things that you probably don't need. The potato chips were quite good in any case!

Aldi would be idea for some of our neighborhoods struggling to land the full size traditional stores like Publix and specialty stores like Trader Joe's, Fresh Market, and Earth Fare. They are all over the smaller lower income Central Florida towns now.  Hopefully, they'll find their way into Jax's market.
