The store at 2073 Broadway, at West 72nd Street, said the shutdown is temporary, with spokesperson Nakia Rohde confirming work will include refrigeration and vertical transportation upgrades.
Trader Joe's said the renovations are intended to improve the in-store experience, and some employees from the location will keep working at nearby stores during the closure.
