Trader Joe's Opening Two New Locations In New Orleans

A new Trader Joe's that will soon open on Tulane Avenue will be the company's first location in the New Orleans city limits.

Trader Joe's already has locations in Baton Rouge and Metairie, but not in New Orleans until now.

Local businesses say they're looking forward to increased customer traffic in the area.

Trader Joe's says the new store will hire about 80 employees.

A second New Orleans location is planned for Uptown on Freret Street, at the former site of Our Lady of Lourdes School.
