A new grocery store is planned for the North City development.
The details
Trader Joe’s filed for a permit for a store in north Fort Worth with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation Sept. 11. The estimated cost of the work is $900,000.
Nakia Rohde, the public relations manager for Trader Joe's, confirmed plans for a new store in north Fort Worth but was unable to confirm a timeline for the opening.
The grocer is known for its unique self-branded products. Trader Joe's also sells fresh produce, snacks, meat, seafood, frozen items, baked goods, beer, wine and flowers.
The filing with TDLR happened almost a month after the city of Fort Worth approved an alcohol distance review Aug. 18.
According to the filing, construction of a 12,500-square-foot building will start Dec. 1 and be completed on June 1, 2027.
Explained
Only certain items for new developments go through the city of Fort Worth's public approval process, such as rezoning.
If all code guidelines for new construction are met without any zoning changes or variance requests, the planned developments will not need to go through the public process or require council approval, according to a statement from the Fort Worth Development Services Department.
What else?
North City is a mixed-use development that features Andretti’s Indoor Karting & Games, Carvana, Pickle City USA, Portillo’s, Velvet Taco and Resia North City Apartments.
According to the Trader Joe’s website, there are 15 other locations in Texas, including one at 2701 S. Hulen St. in south Fort Worth.
