The wait for one of Flower Mound residents’ most-requested major retailers may finally be nearing an end.
Trader Joe’s LLC has filed permits with the town to remodel a suite in the Highlands of Flower Mound shopping center along FM 2499, though the permit filing is the only progress so far.
The grocery store is expected to occupy the space formerly occupied by Party City.
“The plans and permit submitted earlier this year for the former Party City location indicate Trader Joe’s is the proposed tenant,” said the town in a statement. “The Town’s Economic Development team has been involved with the property and development team as part of its ongoing efforts to attract retailers to Flower Mound. However, we have not received direct confirmation from Trader Joe’s, so we cannot officially confirm the retailer at this time.”
If Trader Joe’s ultimately opens in Flower Mound, it would join two other highly-requested brands pursuing locations in town.
Costco is working to open a new warehouse south of the proposed Trader Joe’s along Dixon Lane.
H-E-B is also in the process of opening a new store in Flower Mound, along FM 2499 and Waketon Road – again, just south of the proposed Trader Joe’s.
If Flower Mound is able to land all three, residents will finally have a trifecta of the most-wanted businesses in town.
The other two closest Trader Joe’s locations are in Southlake and Coppell.
