Trader Joe's plans to start the construction of its first South Florida Store, at 9205 S. Dixie Hwy in Pinecrest early this year, and it will "be swarming with employees wearing off-beat Hawaiian shirts sometime this year" if all goes as planned. They're keeping the building currently there, a former Border's Books, and plan to start looking for employees a few months before opening. No word yet on when Two Buck Chuck shipments start arriving, but they expect an insane line of fans to start queuing up obscenely early on opening day. [Miami Herald]
