Construction has begun on the Tulane Avenue site where California-based Trader Joe's, the quirky, budget-friendly food retailer with a bohemian image, is expected to open its first Orleans Parish store next year.

The site of the new store is in the heart of the "medical district," directly across Rocheblave Street from the New Orleans VA Medical Center and bordered also by Banks and South Dorgenois streets.

Not much of a resale market for Everything But the Bagel Seasoning and frozen soup dumplings. Ironically a grocery store that just sells fresh food is likely pretty safe. All Trader Joes needs to worry about is a Kamala presidency.

It irritates me that Trader Joe’s has no soda options for a to go drink. I want a drink on the way home and all they’ve got is ground up vegetable water and matcha tea. I am a loyal customer of their shaving cream.

Trader Joe’s is a vegan store that begrudgingly offers a few options for normal people

You can only buy beef in little one pound bags and there will only be like 10 pounds in the whole store

Isn't there one in Metairie, tho? I remember a tranny working the checkout, first one I can remember actually seeing in real life. Been about a decade since I walked in there tho.

The one that hasn’t even been open for a decade? It’s okay to admit you occasionally shop at TJ’s

Probably the best frozen meals and snacks of any store.

Why would this matter? The frozen meals and snacks are great.

And no, thank god.

FYI I do not shop at Trader Joe's regularly I just get groceries delivered from elsewhere.

But every once in a blue moon if I'm in the neighborhood I'll get a couple of things there, maybe one or twice a year
