UPPER WEST SIDE TJ'S WATCH: Wood Paneling & New Hires Appear At Trader Joe's On Broadway

Here's a peek inside the construction at the  upcoming Trader Joe's  store on Broadway and 72^nd Street. It looks like the store will be mostly underground, but the signature wood paneling being installed at the entrance is a promising sign that the store may open sooner than we had expected (and we have been watching this one closely). So far, no date has been set, but a better indicator that the store will be ready to accept customers in a few months is that the chain has begun hiring workers for the location. Applications are being accepted around the corner form the construction site, marked by a long line of hopefuls snaked down west 72nd street. Now that the new Sixth Avenue TJ's has corrected most of the things that make shopping at the 14^th Street location a miserable experience, we can only imagine what may be in store for us uptown.
