Trader Joe's coming to Fresh Pond

[syntheticnature.livejournal.com]

Not precisely Davis Square, but I've seen so much enthusiasm for TJ's here that I figured it was worth mentioning. Apparently there is going to be a Trader Joe's next to the CVS in Fresh Pond, across Alewife Brook Parkway from Whole Foods: PDF Leasing Flyer from the developer. Unfortunately, the Newbury Comics seems to be on the way out.

Yeah, I agree. The flier maybe indicates that CVS is expanding and those two stores are taking over all of that section? In which case, my favorite pet supply store, a nice local place mostly staffed by the husband and wife owners, would be gone. I love TJ's, but Cambridgeport is only a bit further from me (closer to Porter than Davis) and I'd rather haul out there than see my pet store go away.

I wouldn't go by that flyer. It doesn't look like the person who drew it knew what was up with the existing strip mall at all--remember, it's a flyer designed to attract businesses to the new strip mall that's being built where the Ground Round used to be.
