It has been quite a year for the retail scene in Utah with so many big brand stores that have set up shop for the first time in the Beehive state.Trader Joe's offers popular items branded with its own name, ranging from Trader José's salsas to Trader Ming’s fried rice. The store introduces about a dozen new items every week, according to the company.
The store is also well-known for its collection of wines, but due to Utah liquor laws it won't be selling alcohol products at the Cottonwoods Heights location.
Trader Joe's first location in Utah opened in Salt Lake City at the end of 2012. The store is located at 634 E. 400 South.
The company has more than 400 stores in 39 states. Demand for Trader Joe's products from fans who live far away from the stores has spawned spin-offs, like Pirate Joe's in Canada.
