Why Isn’t There a Trader Joe’s in Hawaii?

There are a few potential reasons why there isn’t a Trader Joe’s in Hawaii.

Firstly, the cost of living and doing business in Hawaii is generally higher than in other parts of the United States. This can make it difficult for companies to justify opening stores in the state, as they may not be able to generate the same profits as they would elsewhere.

Secondly, Hawaii is geographically isolated from the mainland United States, which can make it more difficult and expensive to transport goods to the state. This can add to the cost of operating a store in Hawaii.

Finally, Trader Joe’s may simply have not identified Hawaii as a priority market for expansion. The company may be focusing its efforts on other regions or countries where it sees greater growth potential or a more favorable business environment.

All that being said, you can still purchase many Trader Joe’s items on Amazon, so it’s not like you have to go completely without. Here are some of the best-selling Trader Joe’s items:
