The Columbia County Board of Commissioners, in

close coordination with the Development Authority of Columbia County, is pleased to confirm

that we have been actively engaged in ongoing discussions with Trader Joe’s regarding their

expansion into our community. Our teams are working collaboratively with the retailer to

identify and secure a premier location within Evans that meets their specific operational needs

and serves the best interests of our residents.

We recognize the high level of community enthusiasm for this brand and remain committed

to fostering an economic environment that attracts top-tier retail partners to Columbia County.

Further details regarding specific sites or opening timelines will be shared as soon as they

become available by all parties.
