Trader Joe’s opens a grab-and-go location inside its former wine shop
MANHATTAN, N.Y. (PIX11) — Trader Joe’s opened its first grab-and-go location in New York City on Tuesday at the former wine shop, according to reports.
The newly opened location was dubbed Trader Joe’s Pronto and is the only location the company plans to open according to a spokesperson, EV Grieve reported.
“Trader Joe’s Pronto is a one-of-a-kind extension of our store in Union Square,” a company spokesperson said. “This additional space allows us to carry more of the products our customers in this neighborhood purchase daily.”

The wine shop closed abruptly on Aug 11. 2022, leaving New Yorkers confused as to why the affordable store shuttered its doors. Locals began speculating that the 14th Street wine shop would reopen after a union-busting suit revealed unfair labor practice allegations.
The general counsel of the National Labor Relations Board said to remedy the unfair labor practice allegations, Trader Joe’s must reopen the wine shop, the complaint reveals.
Trader Joe’s Pronto is open daily at Irving Place from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
