Montana has been a popular destination for national franchises, but the state is still lacking is some areas. The recent influx of new residents has made the state attractive to a variety of different businesses looking to expand.

Trader Joe's Doesn't Have a Montana Location. The Reason Why Is...

Trader Joe's has locations all over the country, but Montana still doesn't have a single location. That's right, Trader Joe's has locations in 43 states, so why doesn't Montana have one? There are locations in almost every state surrounding Montana including Idaho, Utah, and Washington. Even Nebraska has a location. What's the deal?

As of right now, the closest Trader Joe's locations are in Boise, Idaho and Spokane, Washington.  I understand that not having a Trader Joe's in Montana isn't the end of the world, but I'm still curious about why the company hasn't expanded in the state.

I am a huge fan of Trader Joe's. Whenever I travel to Boise to visit my family in Boise, I always make it a point to stop at Trader Joe's and stock up on snacks before I head back to Montana. In case you didn't know, Trader Joe's has the best snacks. The store also carries several items that you can't find anywhere else.

I know I'm not the only person in Montana that can't wait for Trader Joe's to open a location in the state. If you visit the Trader Joe's website, you can fill out a form and request a Trader Joe's in your city. If we all do it, maybe they'll come to Montana. It may be wishful thinking, but it's worth a shot.
