Trader Joes open their first Wilmington location this Friday.

Many Myrtle Beach area locals make a special stop to the Mount Pleasant and North Carolina Trader Joe's... some even make special trips. Well the special trip just got a little shorter. WECT has a sneak peak and more details about the Wilmington location. Check it out here. The store is deep in Wilmington so the drive from central Myrtle Beach will still take around an hour. 

We're already on a roll with the recent Chipotle announcement so maybe all those social media activists will get their wish for a Myrtle Beach location.
