As the old Independence Bank on Atlantic and Court sits empty, rumors have started to circulate that Trader Joe’s will not, in fact, open a supermarket in the building. The latest such buzz comes from a poster on the Cobble Hill Blog. The poster says that she/he works at the 14th Street TJ’s and was told by management that the store gave up on the Brooklyn location after dealings with landlord Two Trees turned sour. A representative for Two Trees, however, says the chatter is a lot of hooey, and that the store will eventually open. “The rumor is, well, just a rumor,” says the rep. No word, however, on when TJ’s is actually going to set up shop. The natives are getting restless, Joe!

  1. well 10:05 grocery prices are up across the board due to fule and transportation cost

    while the wants (plasmas,computers and toys decrease in price)
    the needs (food ,energy etc increase)

    sounds like we have an inflation problem

    but hey all the wealthy land barrons in brooklyn can afford it

  2. “Did anyone notice that Fairway just upped their prices.

    A lot of our stuff from our last shopping trip is up 15-20%.”

    It’s called inflation you dumb fuck!

    The What

    Someday this war is gonna end…
