Update: The owner of this property read our story and reached out to us, passing along the message that there is no deal with Trader Joe’s for this location. Bummer.

If you’ve ever visited Philadelphia’s lone Trader Joe’s on a Saturday afternoon, you’d surely agree that our fine city could use a second location, or maybe a couple more. The parking lot is a disaster. The line winds its way around the store, sometimes extending all the way to the entrance. People get really grouchy. It’s just an awful scene, all the way around. Over the years, we’ve hoped for another Trader Joe’s with every major project that’s come down the pike, but have come up disappointed time and time again. But yesterday, out of left field, we heard that a new Trader Joe’s could be coming to a location we never would have predicted.
