Dive Brief:

• Trader Joe's is looking to build a distribution center in Florida as the chain adds stores in the Southeast.
• Reports suggest the company is looking for 600,000 square feet of space and is considering locations on I-95 and I-75.
• The California-based chain has announced a massive expansion in the Sunshine State in upcoming months, with stores planned for Orlando, Winter Park, Jacksonville, Boca Raton, and elsewhere. 

Dive Insight:

Given how big Trader Joe's plans are for Florida, it's no surprise that the company has decided it needs to invest in warehousing and distribution facilities. But that need may present an opportunity.

Aldi has announced plans to expand its operations in the U.S., as well. Perhaps the two companies could share a distribution facility? That would certainly make their parents happy, because brothers should share.
