Official Brooklyn Trader Joe's Announcement This Morning

Listen around 10:40 this morning and the sound you will hear is that of Brooklynites cheering the announcement that Trader Joe's will be moving into the old bank building at Court Street and Atlantic Avenue. The news was broken by our friends at Racked yesterday and spread quickly. Racked reported:

Trader Joe's Brooklyn is actually, officially happening! We hear via a very, very reliable tipster that a press conference will be held tomorrow at 10:40am at the Trader Joe's Brooklyn site on Atlantic Avenue and Court Street.

Of the news, Jen Carlson wrote on Gothamist "For now, make tomorrow a casual Thursday, get out your tropical garb, and welcome Joe's to the neighborhood...hopefully it won't take them long to move in."
