Trader Joe’s Williamsburg
outpost will offi cially open
Friday, Dec. 10, the store announced
Thursday.
When Brooklyn Paper’s sister
publication Brownstoner
stopped by 200 Kent Ave. Sunday,
a mural decorating the
entrance had been completed
and work was still going on inside.
Opening day will include
a ribbon-cutting ceremony
and live music, according to
a store press release. The mural
visible from the street and
other artwork in the store
“pays tribute to area landmarks
and local lore,” such as
the Williamsburg Bridge and
the “area’s prominent biking
culture,” said the release.
Rumors of opening dates
have been fl ying online, with
some saying Black Friday,
Nov. 30, December and even
January.
Trader Joe’s signed a
lease for the space back in
2015, according to a story in
Crain’s at the time. That was
back before Whole Foods
opened on Bedford. The grocer
has two other locations in the
borough, in Boerum Hill —
where the lines wrap around
the block — and at City Point
in Downtown Brooklyn. Another
COURIER LIFE, D 20 ECEMBER 10-16, 2021
location recently opened
not far from Williamsburg in
Long Island City.
The developer is Cornell
Realty Management, who are
active in the borough. They
purchased the property in 2016
for $33 million. Michael Even
is the architect of record, and
LIVWRK handled the design
of the building.
