  • Rumor has it that this will be a Trader Joe's
  • It is confirmed that it is going to be a Trader Joe's
  • Trader Joe's opening soon (Oct, Nov 2007?) at old Albertson's location. Makes sense: Owner of Trader Joe's is Theo Albrecht (#20 on Forbes World Billionaire's List - http://www.forbes.com/lists/2007/10/07billionaires_Theo-Albrecht_787P.html) who owns an 8% chunk of Albertsons. Construction/remodeling of site is in progress now. Good thing - the previous store was pretty ratty, so the new store will be spiffy. Hopefully it will take the pressure off the crowding at the Emeryville store. There is also a TJs going in at the old Albertsons on College Ave near Rockridge BART.
  • Trader Joe's opened in October 2007. Smaller format store, but stocks most everything a traditional Trader Joe's has. The store features a single checkout line, which can get very long, but it moves fast.
