Merriam’s New Trader Joe’s Opens | Kansas City News

Merriam just got its very own Trader Joe’s—and the whole city showed up! People lined up before doors even opened, with some driving 25 minutes just to be first. This isn’t just another store—it’s the third in the metro, but the return of a full-service grocery after eight years, hailed by the mayor as a “destination” for the community. Once a library, the building is now part of a big new mixed-use project with apartments and more shops. Officials say it’ll boost access to fresh food, especially for those with mobility issues, and keep prices low thanks to no sales tax on groceries. Open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., this new spot is already turning heads—and stomachs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
