RIVERDALE, Utah — Riverdale, a regional commercial hub, will be getting a Trader Joe’s, city leaders announced Monday.

Kaysville had pushed hard for a Trader Joe’s, like citizens and leaders in Riverdale, but Weber County economic boosters won out in capturing the attention of the California-based grocery store chain. The new store will likely open in mid 2025. It will be located on busy Riverdale Road, home to numerous big box chains and other retail outlets.

“We’re super excited. I’ve never been more excited to announce a business than this,” Mayor Braden Mitchell said at an announcement ceremony. “There probably won’t be very many Trader Joe’s in northern Utah, so we feel really lucky to have gotten (it).”

Mitchell said the store’s reps signed the lease for the space preceding Monday’s announcement. The market will be located in a strip mall at 4060 Riverdale Road. Santa Claus took part in the announcement, held at the Riverdale Community Center. Brandon Cooper, community development director in Riverdale, said the new locale — which will become Utah’s sixth Trader Joe’s — should open in June after the site is remodeled to suit the retailer’s needs.

Riverdale citizens and leaders waged an intense campaign dating back around 18 months to lure Trader Joe’s to the city. Leaders were tabbed in different zones of the city to spearhead outreach by citizens.
