Trader Joe’s is coming to Harlem — which will be its 13th store in NYC!
The beloved grocery chain announced the news late last week, in a press update on its continued diversity & inclusion efforts since June.
“We are also focusing on neighborhood diversity as an important factor in selecting new store locations,” they wrote. “For example, we recently signed a lease for a new store in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City. The store will be housed in a groundbreaking development at 121 W. 125th St. where we will share occupancy in the building with the new headquarters for the National Urban League, New York’s first Civil Rights Museum, cultural space, and affordable housing.”
They said they are also planning additional stores in new and diverse neighborhoods.
This will mark the first TJ’s in Upper Manhattan, and it will take up 28,000 square feet of the new space, which will also house a new Target store. According to Eater, it is expected to open in 2023.
