A Trader Joe’s store coming to Long Island City will not open until early next year, according to a new report.
The popular grocery chain will move into a mixed-use building currently being constructed at 22-43 Jackson Ave, as first reported by the Long Island City Post in December.
The store was originally expected to open late this year, but a new report by The Real Deal states that it will now open early 2021.
The grocery store will take up a 17,000 square-foot ground floor space of the 11 story, 70-unit building called the Prime Building, designed by SRA Architecture + Engineering and developed by Circle F.
The Long Island City store will be the second Trader Joe’s location in Queens, as there is one in Rego Park.
The California-based chain that has 500 stores across the U.S., has taken New York City by storm since it opened its first store in the Big Apple in 2006.
The company now has 13 locations in the boroughs, including in neighborhoods such as Union Square, Soho, Chelsea, Midtown East, Brooklyn Heights and the Upper West Side.
Trader Joe’s is known for its quality products at affordable prices. It sells its own label products instead of name brands at lower costs.

This is wonderful!!! Such great times and good things taking place in NYC.
NICE!!! I’m looking forward to it, especially the new ikea at rego park. i refuse to shop in manhattan. the crowds annoy me way too much and the people are godawful pretentious.
Have you lived here long???
Oh no jobs coming to L.I.C!!. Little Jimmy and his band of merry protesters will fight it
Trader Joe’s was founded by socialist marxists. You shouldn’t be able to return something just because you don’t like it.
Oh, great, another corporate behemoth to suck out what character is left from the city.
Too many grumps that refuse to embrace enhanced necessities and changes
New product next year: Gummy coronavirus
