Trader Joe's To Open Second Brooklyn Store
July 13, 2015 | 1 min to read
Trader Joe's is coming to Williamsburg.
The California-based grocery chain, which opened its first New York outpost near Union Square in 2006, has signed a lease to open an 18,000-square-foot store in a building that will be constructed at 206 Kent Ave., between North Third Street and Metropolitan Avenue. The store will be Trader Joe's second location in Brooklyn. Its first opened on Atlantic Avenue in Cobble Hill in 2008.
Trader Joe's will become the latest of several big-brand national retailers that have set up shop in Williamsburg as that neighborhood becomes an increasingly popular residential and retail district. Whole Foods plans to open a store next year on Bedford Avenue and North Fourth Street, three avenues away from the upcoming Trader Joe's. Apple and JCrew have also set up shop there.
