A Trader Joe's grocery may be coming to Brick Plaza at the Lakewood border corner Cedarbridge and Rt 70 at the former Ethan Allen location.
Patch -(Brick, NJ) All you Trader Joe's fans need to double- and triple-cross your appendages: The company says it is working on it. Talk that the grocery store may come to the township has been a mixture of rumors and wishful thinking for years, but it has heated up in recent days, with Mayor John G. Ducey mentioning the possibility during an appearance at St. Dominic School for career day last Friday.
On Wednesday, Kenya Friend-Daniel, the public relations director for Trader Joe's, confirmed there are discussions ongoing to bring the store and its unique private label offerings to the township.
"We are interested in bringing a store to that location, and are taking the necessary steps to make that happen," she said. "However, plans are not finalized. I look forward to sharing additional information, if/when there's more to share."
Brick has three grocery stores — a ShopRite at the corner of Route 70 and Chambers Bridge Road, and a Stop 'N' Shop on Brick Boulevard not far from the Toms River border, and an Aldi between Routes 70 and 88 — but residents in the township and nearby have long clamored for a store such as a Whole Foods, Wegman's or Trader Joe's.
If the California-based company is able to hammer out a deal on a site, it would be the first Trader Joe's in Ocean County. The nearest one currently for Ocean County residents is in Shrewsbury in Monmouth County. There are 13 locations in New Jersey currently.
Stay tuned!
Trader Joe is the greatest store in the whole wide world.
