It might not be much to look at now, but progress is being made on Trader Joe s upcoming South Bend location.Â
According to Kenya Friend-Daniel, public relations director for the California-based grocer, the new Trader Joe s near Eddy Street Commons has a tentative opening date of this fall. Friend-Daniel couldn t provide a specific date, saying that it s dependent upon construction progress and could be subject to change.
Steel framing for the new store has been recently put up at 1140 E. Howard Street. The development will anchor the southern portion of Eddy Street Commons near the University of Notre Dame campus. According to a construction design release filed last October, the building will be just under 12,500 square feet and, based on the current construction site layout, will be situated along South Bend Avenue with an entrance off North Eddy Street and a parking lot on the southwest corner.
