The long-anticipated Brookfield Trader Joe's opening is tenatively set for Nov. 2. Developer Ryan Cos. of Minneapolis, Minn., recently turned the newly constructed building to Trader Joe's to prepare for occupation, said Tony Barranco, Ryan Cos. vice president of development. The date could get accelerated or pushed back, Barranco cautioned. But he said last week about 30 workers for Trader Joe's were in the building, installing casings and racks, preparing the interior for opening. "They're doing a great job," he said. Signage still isn't in place. But exterior construction is complete, along with landscaping, dark green canopies and sconce lighting. The Brookfield location, at 128th and Bluemound Road, is Trader Joe's third Wisconsin …

Aldermen will vote Feb. 7 on changes to accommodate Trader Joe's and a yet-unannounced junior anchor store next to Target, after plan commissioners backed the changes.
Changes to smooth the way for Trader Joe's to build in Brookfield have been recommended by the city Plan Commission, City Community Development Director Dan Ertl said. The only sticking point was a request to increase the height of parking lot light poles, he said. Trader Joe's, a specialty grocer known for its private label specialty products and wines, wants to build in Underwood Crossing, a new shopping center under construction at 12821 W. Bluemound Rd. to be anchored by a 140,000-square-foot Target store. Underwood developer Ryan Cos. agreed to investigate whether the three light poles closest to the western Columbia Gardens neighborhood could be at the city's maximum 20-feet height and still create enough light. If not, Ryan said it …
