Trader Joe's Pronto opened yesterday at 138 E. 14th St. at Irving Place (steps away from the Trader Joe's at 142 E. 14th St.).
As we noted, this is the one (and only one planned) for the brand, a grab-pay-and-go concept offering up some of the brand's more popular items ... and (ideally) without the line wait of the TJ's mothership where people seem to always be stocking up ahead of a storm.
Here's a look around...
Daily hours: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The space was previously home to the TJ's wine shop, the brand's only liquor license in New York State. It abruptly closed on Aug. 11, 2022, after 15-plus years in business. Workers here reportedly planned to unionize when the company announced the closure.
Our post from yesterday includes a statement from the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union.

bring back the wine shop and allow the employees to join a union instead
As a proud member of Local 6 HTC, I can confirm that I will NOT be visiting this or any other Trader Joe’s locations.
It seems a little redundant.
can't wait to try it out!
Good for them! I wish them every success.
I can now confirm I'd be shopping there daily
With Trixie.
Why?
I really don't get it?
Think about your customers and bring back the wine store.....

And then a CityMD™ next to that to diagnose their enlarged livers?
Doesn't need a union.
