Last time we checked in on this West LA Trader Joe's building site, we didn't find much more than concrete blocks and scaffolding. But a mere six months later, the sparkling new space is preparing for its big reveal, with a "tentative" opening date of August 21 posted on a window. A special Racked operative took a few shots of the space, located at 11755 Olympic Blvd, which appears to be part of a large commercial structure (judging by a visible "For Lease" sign in a neighboring window). A peek inside revealed that the 10,500 square-foot store is already being filled with merch, while there appears to be an indoor/underground parking area around the back.
