Trader Joe's Set to Open First Brevard County Store at The Avenue Viera

Residents of Brevard County will soon have the convenience of shopping at Trader Joe's without the need to travel to Orlando.

 

The popular grocery chain has confirmed plans to open a new store at The Avenue Viera, taking over the space previously occupied by Michael's craft store.

 

Located at 2221 Town Center Avenue, this addition is part of a broader expansion of The Avenue Viera's retail offerings.

 

Recent developments include the openings of Southern Tide, American Eagle, and Aerie, with Tommy Bahama and Kendra Scott slated to join the lineup soon.

 

These additions underscore The Avenue Viera's commitment to enhancing the shopping experience for the local community.

 

Jeff Law, general manager of The Avenue Viera, emphasized the importance of bringing highly requested retailers to the area, stating that securing Trader Joe's has been a priority.

 

Rumors about Trader Joe's arrival began circulating in March after a building permit application linked to the retailer was filed with Brevard County.

 

Speculation intensified in July when Michael's closed its doors, and signs appeared hinting at a new tenant.

 

While an official opening date has not been announced, new Trader Joe's locations typically open about six months after appearing on the company's "coming soon" list.

 

If this timeline holds, Brevard shoppers could be filling their carts by March 2026.

 

The arrival of Trader Joe's is part of a larger trend of retail growth in the area.

 

In addition to the developments at The Avenue Viera, the nearby Crossings at Viera is set to begin construction, featuring a Whole Foods Market and a home improvement store.

 

These expansions reflect the region's dynamic growth and the increasing demand for diverse shopping options.

 

For Space Coast residents, the opening of Trader Joe's represents the end of years of waiting and the beginning of a much shorter drive for their favorite finds.

 

The store's unique product selection, competitive prices, and friendly customer service are expected to be a welcome addition to the local shopping scene.
