This page covers what time Trader Joe’s opens and closes today, the typical Sunday hours, holiday status (TJ’s has more chain-wide closures than most grocery chains: New Year’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, July 4, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day; specialty-grocery sibling Whole Foods Market closes only Christmas Day chain-wide), plus the corporate office at 1-626-441-1177 and how to find a store near you.

Two Trader Joe’s-specific things worth knowing: the chain runs identical 8 AM to 9 PM hours seven days a week at most US locations (one of the most uniform schedules in grocery), and Trader Joe’s primarily handles customer questions through their online Contact Form rather than a customer service phone line. Shoppers looking for deeper specialty wine selection beyond Trader Joe’s curated picks (including the iconic Charles Shaw private label) can visit Total Wine & More, the largest independent US fine wine retailer with about 280 stores in 30+ states.
