It’s Official: Trader Joe’s Coming Soon to Rockville Town Square

Last week we let you know that Trader Joe’s is set to open at 225 N. Washington St. in Rockville Town Square, taking over the former Dawson’s Market space, which closed this past summer after twelve years. The location is now officially coming soon, as it has been added to the Trader Joe’s website.


Our very own @MrMoCo first made mention of the move in the late spring with subsequent instagram stories over the summer, but it wasn’t until late October that employees of the nearby Trader Joe’s locations on Darnestown Rd and Rockville Pike confirmed the upcoming store along with our discovery of permits filed with the City of Rockville for “interior alterations to an existing tenant space for a new grocery store installation” at 225 N. Washington St.

The popular grocery chain is know for its “unique, affordable products, friendly atmosphere, and focus on organic and specialty items.” According to employees at other stores, the new Rockville Town Square location is expected to open in March 2025. Trader Joe’s currently has other Montgomery County locations in Bethesda, Rockville, and Silver Spring.

Per the Trader Joe’s Website, “At Trader Joe’s in Rockville – Town Square , we see ourselves as your neighborhood grocery store. Step inside and you’ll find unconventional and interesting products in the Trader Joe’s label like Mandarin Orange Chicken and Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate, as well as everyday basics like milk, eggs and fresh produce. Most importantly, we offer all of our delicious, quality products at the very best prices. We’re happy to be part of your community, and proud to offer you unique products and an exceptional shopping experience, every day.
