After a lot of speculation that the Brooklyn Trader Joe's may never happen, Racked reports that it...IS! The good news (for Brooklynites) was posted just moments ago:
Trader Joe's Brooklyn is actually, officially happening! We hear via a very, very reliable tipster that a press conference will be held tomorrow at 10:40am at the Trader Joe's Brooklyn site on Atlantic Avenue and Court Street. The conference, led by Marty Markowitz, is to officially announce that the store is opening. In addition to the conference, they're be a parade of sorts with music from a Brooklyn-based Caribbean steel drum band, because, as our tipster writes, "Trader Joe's is, like, tropical." The parade will start outside Marty's office at 209 Joralemon Street at 10:30 (Marty will be wearing some sort of Hawaiian garb) and will travel to the TJ's site at 130 Court Street, where Marty and a rep from Two Trees will announce the good news.
If this is what they're doing for the announcement, we can't imagine what's in store for opening day. For now, make tomorrow a casual Thursday, get out your tropical garb, and welcome Joe's to the neighborhood...hopefully it won't take them long to move in.

Just using this post to say how awesome Trader Joes is and how its prices are about half of every other grocery store in the city.
where to park?
you can park at the Trader Joes supposedly going up in Queens. How's that coming?
aloha means hello and goodbye.
it also means LOVE!
My 'Who Gives a Fuck-o-meter' just went off the scale!
I hope they have a better selection than the Union Square store.
And do you guys ever say "Thank You" to California for TJ's...nope.
You're welcome.
oh come on Joe! There are already so many great places to get food within walking distance of that corner. Sahadis, Damascus, Staubitz, Fratelli, Fish Tales, a handful of good greengrocers, etc., etc.
Further out Atlantic Avenue is where we need you!
aw shoot.
And where IS my Queens Trader Joes? It was supposed to open, 'in the second quarter of 2007'.
How much longer must I suffer without a TJs?
I mean, I got Costco here in Queens, and finally Fresh Direct delivers to Jackson Heights. But my heart will not be full until I see happy people in tropical shirts ringing up my potstickers.
I love you, Joe.
"oh come on Joe! There are already so many great places to get food within walking distance of that corner. Sahadis, Damascus, Staubitz, Fratelli, Fish Tales, a handful of good greengrocers, etc., etc."
Yeah, think of those stores in the past tense. Trader Joe's will suck business away from the small mom and pop stores that have trule made Atlantic Avenue great and pave the way for future T-Mobile, nail salons and maybe even a bank or two.
This city is sucking itself dry.
Trader Joe's is affordable and tasty. If they keep cropping up in the city maybe we'll move back.
