About Store -- and Hiring
The 9,408 sq. ft. store is the second Trader Joe’s in Rhode Island.
According to the company, its interior murals feature a journey through the city. "Customers can delight in images from Federal Hill, Brown University, Johnson and Wales University, as well as highlights from India Point to Rogers Williams Park," says Trader Joe's.
Trader Joe’s says it "prides itself on hiring where our store is located" -- and more than eighty Crew Members will be hired for this store.
Hiring efforts are still underway. Anyone interested in applying can visit traderjoes.com/careers for more information.
In addition, through the company’s longstanding Neighborhood Shares Program, the new Providence Trader Joe’s will donate 100% of products that go unsold but "remain fit to enjoy" to a range of non-profit, community-based organizations, seven days a week.
