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.

But now.. take a look at this and this. Newbury Comics is closing after all, despite what they told me last September. They want to move across Route 16.

Yeah, the rumor is still going strong. Apparently employees at Whole Foods and the Trader Joe's on Mem Drive are saying it's on the way: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/590171

There's a story in today's Globe confirming that a Trader Joe's will be constructed in the former Ground Round space near Fresh Pond.

Yeah!

This morning a crew was erecting chain-link fencing around the front and side of the Newbury Comics store. I presume this is in preparation for remodeling the space formerly occupied by Newbury Comics and Pet Supplies Plus for occupancy by CVS.

Meanwhile, the former Payless Shoe Source in the Fresh Pond Mall has signage saying Newbury Comics is Coming Soon, but the interior is empty except for a half-dozen waist-height cabinets pushed against the north wall.
