Trader Joe's announced it will soon open 21 new stores and already opened two new ones this year — one on Medical Center Parkway in Murfreesboro that opened April 10.
The chain said it operates 581 stores across 42 states and plans monthly expansions.
🚨 Crime
A 44-year-old Murfreesboro woman was arrested Tuesday for driving recklessly through Providence Marketplace and shoplifting from TJ Maxx/HomeGoods—police later found meth and psilocybin mushrooms in her car and reported she had missed a court date on drug charges.
Murfreesboro Fire Rescue & Police responded yesterday to an online bomb threat targeting New Vision Church on Thompson Lane and evacuated the building as officials investigated the threat's credibility while asking residents to avoid the area.

Tennessee residents must update their IDs before May 7 to board domestic flights and enter certain federal facilities.
They can get a REAL ID at a Driver Services Center or County Clerk’s office if they show proof of U.S. citizenship, a full Social Security number, and two current proofs of Tennessee residency — names must match or be verified by a certified document.
