The first Myrtle Beach Trader Joe’s store is officially opening soon. Here’s when

After months of construction and local anticipation, the first Trader Joe’s store in the Grand Strand is coming to the intersection of Route 544 and 17 Bypass in the Myrtle Beach area.

The new location at 115 Sayebrook Parkway will celebrate with a grand opening with giveaways and samples on Tuesday, Sept. 30. Kicking off at 8:55 a.m., the ceremony will feature a ribbon cutting before the store officially opens for business at 9:00 a.m.

The store will open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., so shoppers can get grocery staples, beer and wine, as well as Trader Joe’s customer favorites like peanut butter pretzels and chili and lime-flavored rolled tortilla chips any day of the week.

According to a company spokesperson, the new store will donate all unsold products that are still good to nonprofit, community-based organizations.
