The grand opening date for Tracy's first Trader Joe's store has been set.

Trader Joe's and Tracy city leaders announced back in March that a new store is being planned along Naglee Road, right in front of the West Valley Mall and just off of Interstate 205.

As city leaders noted, the new grocery store is among a slew of new openings for the fast-growing San Joaquin County city of Tracy.

"Often the talk of the town, this new addition represents not only a new shopping option for our residents, but also an exciting milestone for our community's continued growth and development," said Dan Arriola, Tracy's mayor, in a statement.

On Monday, Trader Joe's announced the planned grand opening date for the Tracy store: Friday, June 13. Celebrations planned for the grand opening day include a ribbon-cutting ceremony and other events, like samples and giveaways. 

The new Trader Joe's will be filling in a former World Market location.

Previously, Tracy residents looking for a Trader Joe's would have to drive about a half hour to either Stockton or Modesto.

No opening date for the new Trader Joe's Tracy store has been announced just yet.
