Last year, Chick-fil-A entered the Yonkers, New York market with two new locations on the same street.
Soon, Trader Joe’s will be landing in Westchester County’s largest city on Central Park Avenue, an eight-and-a-half-mile stretch of retail that runs into the town of Scarsdale where the supermarket chain already operates a location, according to a report on the Lohud news website.
“Yonkers is a vibrant community and it’s been clear to us for a long time that this city deserves a Trader Joe’s,” Regional Vice President Sunshine Haven told Lohud. “We’re thrilled to bring a new store here and look forward to being a welcoming, friendly spot for our Yonkers neighbours to shop.”
Trader Joe’s will be the second specialty grocery store to open in Yonkers within a year. Last October, Lidl opened its second Westchester location about a block away from the site where Trader Joe’s will debut.
It will be the chain’s fifth store in Westchester. Other locations are found in Larchmont, Hartsdale and Yorktown Heights, as well as Scarsdale.
