What Are Trader Joe’s Store Hours (Including Holidays)

When is Trader Joe’s Open? What Are Trader Joe’s Hours During the Holidays? 

Want to know when Trader Joe’s is open or closed? What holidays are they open?

I get a lot of questions about when Trader Joe’s is open and not open so I thought I would quickly answer this and give it its own page.

I know we all like to shop at Trader Joe’s or you wouldn’t be here, but it’s hard keeping track of what store is open and when. Places like Costco have notorious short hours and are closed a lot of days that you wouldn’t expect them to be like on Easter Sunday when everyone else is open.

Trader Joe’s keeps it really simple for you to remember.

All of Trader Joe’s stores are open from 8 am to 9 pm seven days a week.*

(*There are caveats to this. The vast majority of Trader Joe’s stores are open 8-9 every day, but some localities are open 9-9 or even 11-9 on Sundays. Please check your local store hours at the Trader Joe’s website. https://www.traderjoes.com/home/store-search)
