Trader Joe's Opening Friday

The much-anticipated opening of Trader Joe's in Millburn is near. According to the company's Web site, the store is scheduled to open on Friday. Workers were installing the sign at the store on Millburn Avenue on Monday.

The store will open in the former location of Whole Foods, which closed a year ago to move to Union. The Millburn Planning Board approved the application in May. Company officials opened a trailer at the end of September to take applications for people to work in the new store. There is still a job posting on the Trader Joe's Web site for part-time positions.

Editor's Note: Just got my Trader Joe's Grand Opening flier in the mail (bring it in "for a free gift and a chance to win free groceries")! It says the store will be open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The store number is 973-218-0912.
