Specialty grocer says neighborhood diversity key to selecting new locations
Trader Joe’s plans to open its first store in Upper Manhattan, in the New York City neighborhood of Harlem.
The Prusik Group, BRP Companies, L+M Development Partners and Taconic Partners said Wednesday they’ve signed a lease with Trader Joe’s for a 28,000-square-foot store on the lower level of the upcoming Urban League Empowerment Center. Located at 121 West 125th St., the facility will house the new headquarters and conference center for the National Urban League and the Urban Civil Rights Experience Museum, New York state’s first civil rights museum.
