Long Island City, known as one of the
fastest growing neighborhoods in the
country, has been waiting for retail to
catch up with unprecedented residential
development.
That’s about to change now that
Trader Joe’s is coming to the neighborhood,
according to an LIC Post report,
based on information from a “number
of well-placed real estate brokers.”
The California-based chain with 500
stores across the country is planning
to open in the Prime Building across
the street from MoMA PS1 at 22-43
Jackson Ave. The 11-story, 70-unit
condominium, developed by Circle F
Capital, is scheduled to open next year.
The Queens Courier reached out to
Trader Joe’s and Circle F Capital and
is awaiting a response. The Trader Joe’s
store would be the chain’s second in
Queens after they opened in Rego Park.
The new supermarket will join compete
against two Foodcellar Market
locations in Hunters Point and Court
Square, the Urban Market on 2nd
Street and the Key Food store on 44th
Drive.
