Trader Joe's Opens In Seaport Friday

BOSTON — The unique Trader Joe's shopping experience (minus the booze) is coming to the Seaport. Fort Point will get its own location of the popular California-based food chain after a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 8:45 a.m. Friday at 44 Thomson Place.

The Trader Joe's will have all the quirky products it's known for, but unlike the big Assembly Row location and some others, won't offer beer and wine.

You won't have to go far for a beer, though. Trillium Brewing Company is right next door.

Boston currently has one Trader Joe's location on Boylston Street in Back Bay.
