It’s Official: Trader Joe’s Is Opening in Uptown New Orleans - Eater New Orleans

"A highly-debated location of Trader Joe’s in Uptown New Orleans is officially underway after months of speculation and regulatory hurdles. Construction for Trader Joe’s at 2428 Napoleon Avenue is expected to begin later this year, with a hopeful opening to follow in late 2025. The project faced challenges including the need for demolition approval of a historic building, which was eventually granted by the City Council. The store aims to provide affordable, fresh food and vegetables, and has garnered significant community support." - Clair Lorell
