Trader Joe’s has released a statement announcing an October 19th opening at their new Lower East Side store at 400 Grand Street. The company will celebrate with a grand opening event including “live music, food tastings, giveaways, and more,” beginning at 8am on Friday, Oct. 19th. They write:
The new store, which will be the 7th Trader Joe’s location in Manhattan, is located in Essex Crossing on the corner of Clinton & Grand and is easily accessible via the B, D, F, M, J & Z trains. At over 30,000 total square feet, it’s the largest Trader Joe’s on the Eastern Seaboard, and its interior will feature murals that pay tribute to local landmarks and the dynamic spirit of the neighborhood. The store will be open from 8am – 10pm daily.
Additionally, the new store looks to be hiring. There was a sign out front stating they are taking applications tomorrow, Oct. 5, between 9am – 5pm.
Trader Joe’s is opening in the basement of the new Essex Crossing building at 400 Grand Street (on the northwest corner of Grand and Clinton streets), beneath the Target store that opened in August. The announcement comes after a bit of rumormongering, raising doubts that the store was indeed opening.
