Three stores setting up shop in weeks - see if your city will see a grand opening

WHILE many businesses are facing what’s been dubbed the retail apocalypse, three stores are set to open this month.

Store closures are plaguing the nation with retailers like Walmart, Barnes & Noble, and Bed Bath & Beyond as its latest victims.

Additionally, pharmacies, banks, and restaurants are also being hit.

However, in the midst of all the losses and rising prices, specific stores are actually seeing some growth - grocery stores.

March is the month to keep an eye out as giant retailers like Trader Joe’s, Aldi, Costco, and others are opening new locations.

Below, we’ve rounded up three stores across the nation expected to open up shop in the coming weeks.

The supermarket is reportedly planning on opening its fourth new Florida store on March 8.

It will be a 48,000-square-foot location at Wynnehaven Plaza at 10040 Navarre Parkway in Navarre in Santa Rosa County.

That particular store will include a pharmacy and liquor options.

Additionally, the company will also open another Florida location, this time with 51,908 square feet.

That one will be open to customers on March 23 in Sarasota County.

The address is 4840 S. Tamiami Trail Sarasota, Florida.

On March 16, shoppers will be able to browse the aisles of a new Aldi in Sturgis Plaza.

Announced last May, the store will be located at 811 S. Centerville Road and will take over the old Kroger location.

The new Aldi is a sprawling 23,000 square feet.

On March 16, the first 100 customers will receive a gift bag filled with Aldi product samples, per Yahoo!.

Additionally, they will get a gift card as part of the Golden Ticket gift card giveaway program.

The shoppers can also enter a sweepstakes between March 16 and 19 for a chance to win a $500 store gift card.

The warehouse retailer is set to open its first location in Kyle, Texas.

Its new store will feature most of the popular Costco themes including free food samples, discounted bulk food savings, and the $1.50 hot dog combo.

The 160,533-square-foot warehouse will also have 24 gas pump spots.

The grand opening is on March 30, the ceremony will begin at 7.15am while doors will open at 8am.

Floridians got lucky as they have another option for grocery shopping - this time at Sprouts Farmers Market.

The company will host its hiring fairs on March 14 and March 16 but the actual opening won't be until April 28.

Sprouts intends on hiring 80 team members for the Palm Beach County store.

The store will be located at 9831 Glades Road. in Shadowwood Square, the same plaza where Regal Cinemas recently closed.

Earlier this month, Utah residents saw their fourth Trader Joe's location.

The 11479 South State Street store opened on March 3 after months of rumors on social media.

Employees were seen giving customers Hawaiian leis to celebrate.

Stores are making major changes to their services as pivoting becomes essential to staying open.

Plus, a giant retailer plans to open more stores amid the retail apocalypse.
