According to the Press Democrat Newspaper, Trader Joe's Corporation began a $1.35 Million Reconstruction & Update July 2018, which appears to NOT include the Puerta Vallarta Restaurant site next door (earlier it was thought the company wanted the fire destroyed Mexican Restaurant site to improve parking and change store size from its limiting 15,000+ sq ft footprint & odd configuration related to the parking lot & doors, and thereby remake the Entrance to both). This seems to NOT have occurred. Reconstruction includes new & expanded Refrigeration & HVAC systems, new/improved Bathrooms, and a new Roof & Ceiling (internally), complete with State of the Art Fire Prevention (Sprinklers). While driving by in early September 2018, it appears a lot of the work is done or nearing completion on this older site (one of the First in Northern California, btw), which has been reconfigured and expanded several times over 20+ yrs. **Expected to Re-open in time for the Holidays-by Fall 2018!**
Not for at least a couple months.
Rumor is about six months from now. No actual facts though.
It will open on November 16, 2018.
They told me yesterday, not before summer
