Trader Joe’s Coming to Raleigh in ‘09

Written by S. Beaumont and filed under Development 

Trader Joe’s RaleighAs predicted by many, Raleigh will be getting a Trader Joe’s. It will be a couple of years though. From the TBJ:

It’s official: Trader Joe’s is coming to Raleigh.

A spokeswoman for the specialty grocer, which has built a large following around the country, said Trader Joe’s will open a 12,000-square-foot location at the corner of Wake Forest Road and Interstate 440.

Read our post about the Holly Park Shopping Center from back in July, after which several of our readers predicted not only that we’d get a Trader Joe’s but also where it would end up. Smart folks.

    They’ve certainly picked a wise choice of a location. A block from Costco, right off the Beltline, mid-way between North Raleigh and Downtown. Good infill.
    Brilliant.

    Nice. Wish they’d build downtown instead, though.

    At least it’s on the bus line (#2).

    Let’s hope it’s better than the scaled back mini- version that was plopped down in Cary. If you’ve ever been to a “real” trader joes you’ll know what Cary has pales in comparison to the west coast. I’d rather go to WholeFoods on Wade or Fresh Market in Cameron Village—far nicer.
