Rumors have been swirling around town that Trader Joe’s, a specialty discount grocery and liquor store perhaps best known for the Two Buck Chuck wine it sells, is coming to the area.

While some have said that the first location will open at the revamped Bayshore, others have said the company plans to open next year on Bluemound Road on the site of a former PDQ.

Stay tuned to OMC for more details as they become available.
