The first Trader Joe’s in Central Florida opened on Friday, bringing in hundreds of eager customers to the new location.
Employees danced around and passed out Hawaiian leis to the customers before they started their shopping experience at the popular grocery chain. The Winter Park located is the third Trader Joe’s opening in the Florida area with a March opening in Tampa and a May opening in Wellington.
Trader Joe’s anticipated so much traffic, that they hired three off-duty police officers to direct traffic and monitor the crowds during the opening weekend.
The store is located on U.S. Highway 17-92 near the Winter Park Village.
