An opening date has not been set, but typically announcements about future stores are made a couple months prior to when they open, Nakia Rohde, a company spokesperson, said in an email.
Rumors have been swirling about Trader Joe’s being the unidentified grocer included in the mixed use-project on former I-195 land.
At the time the property known as Parcel 6 was sold, development team D+P Real Estate and Truth Box Architects Inc. said “a nationally recognized grocery store operator” would occupy 13,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space, but did not specify who the grocer would be. Jordan Durham, founder of D+P Real Estate, would not confirm the identity of grocery chain when asked by PBN in June, though he said the store would be open “later this year.”
The $26 million project also includes between 49 and 62 apartments as well as another 9,000 square feet of retail space, PBN has reported.
