Anaheim Hills is preparing for the grand opening of its first Trader Joe’s grocery store, scheduled for Thursday, October 22, 2026. The new location, situated at 6336 E Santa Ana Canyon Road, specifically at the intersection of Santa Ana Canyon Road and Fairmont Road, will welcome its first customers at 9:00 am. Store Captain Louis Day and Trader Joe’s Crew Members will be on hand to greet residents and shoppers on opening day.
This new 9,769 square-foot establishment marks a notable addition to the retail landscape of Anaheim Hills. It represents the first Trader Joe’s store to be established directly within this specific Anaheim community, offering a new local option for grocery shopping. Trader Joe’s prides itself on hiring from the local community. For this new location, over forty new Crew Members have been hired from the surrounding Anaheim Hills areas to work at the store. In addition to these new local hires, other experienced Crew Members have been transferred from existing nearby Trader Joe’s locations, ensuring a blend of fresh local talent and seasoned company employees for the new neighborhood outlet. This approach to staffing is expected to contribute to local job creation and economic activity within the community.
Beyond its retail operations and local hiring efforts, the new Trader Joe’s Anaheim Hills store is also set to participate in the company’s longstanding Neighborhood Shares Program. This initiative focuses on community support by ensuring that 100 percent of products that go unsold but remain entirely fit to enjoy will be donated. These donations will be distributed to a variety of non-profit, community-based organizations. The program is designed to operate seven days a week, providing continuous support to local groups working within the community. This consistent donation schedule aims to minimize food waste while simultaneously providing valuable resources to charitable organizations that serve the needs of Anaheim residents through various programs. It reflects a commitment to giving back to the community where the store operates.
Following its initial opening on Thursday, October 22, 2026, at 9:00 am, the Trader Joe’s Anaheim Hills store will maintain regular business operating hours. The store will be open daily from 9 am to 9 pm. These consistent hours are intended to provide convenience and accessibility for residents seeking its distinctive range of grocery items. The opening of this new retail space is anticipated to serve as a convenient shopping destination for the surrounding neighborhoods within Anaheim Hills, offering a specialized grocery experience directly within the community.
