In a long-awaited announcement, gourmet grocery Trader Joe's said Wednesday it will open its first Lexington store at 8 a.m. June 29. Construction is nearly complete on the grocery at 2326 Nicholasville Road, the former site of Joe's Crab Shack. The 12,000-square-foot grocery will have a separate wine shop of about 3,000 square feet. This will be Trader Joe's second Kentucky store. The first one opened in October at 4600 Shelbyville Road in Louisville.
