Trader Joe’s left customers in a Los Angeles neighborhood seeing double earlier this month after opening a new location across the street from an existing Trader Joe’s store.
The grocery chain opened its new store on June 6 at 14140 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks, California. The store is in an apartment complex directly across from another Trader Joe’s store located at 14119 Riverside Drive.
Trader Joe’s referred to the new store as “Sherman Oaks too” in an announcement on its website.
Shoppers took to social media to poke fun at the proximity of the two Trader Joe’s stores.

“Want to know something actually insane,” shopper Shauna Green says in a video she posted to TikTok while standing in front of the new store. “I just went to this new Trader Joe’s that just opened in Sherman Oaks.”
She then pans the camera around and points across the street, saying, “This is the other Trader Joe’s.”
One user replied to Green’s video, writing, “Gives you two shots at things being in stock.”
