Here is some news about the store and its location-
http://www.gothamgazette.com/community/29/news/2583
"This time, the company is setting up shop in Queens, in a long-dormant factory on the southwestern edge of Forest Hills.
In fact, when the arrival of the new store was reported in The Queens Chronicle, a local weekly, the newspaper identified the location as Rego Park, a neighborhood just to the northwest with a median household income $10,000 below that of Forest Hills. After examining the geography involved, Frank Galluscio, district manager of Community Board 6, said the store would actually be within Forest Hills, albeit close to the Rego Park border.
The company offers little in the way of details to explain its decision. “We don’t disclose what goes into our real estate practices,” said Alison Mochizuki, a company spokeswoman. She did, however, disclose that the store would sit on Metropolitan Avenue just east of Woodhaven Boulevard, a major traffic artery. The store is expected to open in the spring.
Unlike the Union Square store, which is within a few blocks of restaurants like the Union Square Cafe, this Trader Joe’s will sit opposite Lazslo Auto Body and Collision and around the corner from a Home Depot and a Sports Authority."
