ICARO Media Group
In an exciting development for residents in the Lowcountry, Trader Joe's has revealed the location of its upcoming second store in the Charleston area. The popular grocery chain has chosen Sweetgrass Corner, situated between North Highway 17 and Hungry Neck Boulevard, as the site for its latest endeavor.
The store, which will be located at 1909 North Highway 17, is conveniently situated near the Isle of Palms Connector and is linked to I-526, ensuring easy accessibility for customers. Occupying a portion of a former BI-LO grocery store, Trader Joe's signed its lease for the space in the spring of 2022.
While the remaining space of the old grocery store is set to be leased out by two other tenants, the Continental Realty Corporation (CRC), which owns the property, is confident that Trader Joe's presence will greatly benefit the surrounding community. David Donato, CRC's Chief Operating Officer, expressed his excitement about the new store location, stating, "Trader Joe's is a best-in-class anchor tenant, and we are thrilled to have them at Sweetgrass Corner. It is a testament to the demographic profile and business environment of the Town of Mt. Pleasant that a second Trader Joe's store is warranted here. We look forward to the positive impacts Trader Joe's will have on the in-line tenants who have been without an anchor tenant for so long."
The announcement of the new Trader Joe's store brings a sense of anticipation for locals who appreciate the unique offerings and ambiance of the chain. Known for their affordable and high-quality products, Trader Joe's is renowned for its extensive selection of specialty and organic foods, as well as its distinctive private-label items.
With the success of their first store in the Charleston area, Trader Joe's decision to expand their presence demonstrates their confidence in the local market. The upcoming opening of the Sweetgrass Corner location is expected to create a buzz among area residents and attract shoppers from neighboring communities.
No specific timeline for the store's opening was mentioned in the provided information. However, given the previous lease signing in the spring of 2022, shoppers can look forward to the doors of the new Trader Joe's store opening soon.
As further details emerge, eager customers and local businesses eagerly await the grand opening, which promises to enrich the shopping experience in the Charleston area.
