Trader Joe’s will begin construction later this year on a one-million-square-foot food assembly and distribution center in Palmdale, California, reports Los Angeles Daily News. The site will include three buildings: a main “hub” building, a freezer facility, and accessory building.
Construction is scheduled to be completed in the last quarter of 2024 and will support stores throughout Southern California. The project gained approval by the Planning Commission in January 2022. There are many conditions for approval of the project, including the widening of a nearby street, construction of a sidewalk, and installation of a bike path adjacent to the facility.
“We are thrilled that Trader Joe’s has selected Palmdale as a destination to expand their business with their new food assembly and distribution facility,” Mayor Laura Bettencourt said in a statement.
The project will include a 12.2-acre Joshua tree preservation area, according to the report. Full Story
