Did You Know That Trader Joe’s Sells Alcohol At 7 Massachusetts Store Locations?
Trader Joe’s aficionados, did you know that there are seven locations that sell alcohol in Massachusetts? Out of twenty-one total locations in the Commonwealth, only seven lucky ones give you the option to pick up a bottle of wine or a six-pack alongside your favorite snacks.
I have a cottage in West Yarmouth and my husband loves the Trader Joe’s Cold Brew. So, I went to stock up for our cottage while we were on vacation. When I finally got to the other end of the store I noticed some ice-cold IPA’s in the display cooler. As I turned to my right, there was an entire row of alcohol. Beer and wine filled both aisles. There was even a “French Reds” section. How fancy!
But not at ALL of their locations! Here are the 7 that carry beer, wine, and even liquor.
I had never seen such a thing before in a Trader Joe’s in MA! Every store I went to didn’t have wine, liquor or beer. I was flabbergasted! (Don’t you love that word?) So, I approached an employee and asked her if the Hyannis store was the only location that sold wine and beer. She informed me that there are seven locations in MA where you can buy it.
Here Are The Trader Joe’s Locations That Sell Alcohol
Foxboro
It’s nestled close to the iconic Gillette Stadium. The Foxboro Trader Joe’s is a perfect stop to pick up both your grocery essentials and a bottle of wine for dinner. If you’re preparing for a Patriots game day, it’s a convenient location to grab some craft beers and snacks for tailgating.
This Trader Joe’s is just steps away from the gate entrance to Gillette Stadium. If you need to stock up on booze, or you forgot a bottle of Rose, just walk right over!
Cambridge
It’s located in the heart of one of the most academic cities in the world. The Cambridge Trader Joe’s caters to both students and families alike. Close to Harvard and MIT, it’s not surprising that this location has an eclectic mix of international alcohol selections to match the diverse community.
Hyannis
This one is a stone’s throw away from Cape Cod’s beautiful beaches. The Hyannis Trader Joe’s is a haven for both locals and tourists. Whether you’re gearing up for a beach picnic or a cozy evening indoors, this location has your drink needs covered.
Saugus
With Route 1’s numerous shopping and dining options, this location is an ideal stop for those looking to make their weekend dinner a tad more special with a drink pairing.
I feel like the wine deals at these 7 locations are pretty awesome! I got a Trader Joe’s Pino Noir for only $6.99!
Somerville
The Somerville location perfectly captures the essence of this unique community. Here, you can find a range of affordable wines and craft beers to accompany any meal. And it has an artsy vibe since the very trendy Assembly Row is nearby.
Brookline
It’s close to Boston! The Brookline Trader Joe’s is surrounded by a mix of students, professionals, and families. With Coolidge Corner nearby, this location is perfect for those looking to grab a bottle and enjoy a movie night at home.
