It just got a little easier to snag Two Buck Chuck and ridiculously small cups of free coffee in the South Loop. Trader Joe’s opened this morning at the corner of Roosevelt and S. Wabash. It’s the fifth Chicago location for the grocery store, so we’re figuring that you pretty much know what to expect. You’ll be able to find aisles of frozen foods, boxed ethnic meals, and very cheap wine, all sold by Hawaiian-shirt-wearing employees with surprisingly good benefits. Interestingly, not everyone is so excited about the move. Oh well. For the rest of the general public, Trader Joe’s will be open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. (And we also confirmed that the address is 1147 S. Wabash, not 1224 S. Wabash.) [Sloopin]
