May the Fourth be with you, Trader Joe's shoppers.
Friday is the day the popular supermarket chain will officially opens its doors at its new Upper West Side location. West Side Rag was first to report the market will open its doors at 8 a.m.
The new location is located on Columbus Avenue between 92nd and 93rd streets. The neighborhood blog reports it will be one floor and will have murals showing Central Park in different seasons. It will also have 21 checkout lanes to help with long lines.
Believe it or not, it's not the only Trader Joe's in Manhattan everyone is buzzing about.
SoHo has been long-awaiting the opening of the chain's new location on Spring Street. However, it recently held a job fair, a sign that it, too, could be opening its doors to shoppers soon.
Local
Trader Joe's announced last year it would be opening locations in SoHo and on the Upper West Side in 2018, but never specified the dates. A spokeswoman for the company confirmed to News 4 last month they were on track to open within the year.
