The Trader Joe’s market in The Woodlands looks like dirt. For now, at least. Yesterday, the company finally admitted that this tree-stripped site in the under-construction Woodlands Crossing Shopping Center at the corner of Kuykendahl Rd. and Woodlands Parkway will be the first Houston-area store to open (even though the other potential TJ’s location on the horizon — in-town, inside the former Alabama Theater — appears to be in the moving-dirt-around stages as well). Swamplot broke the news of The Woodlands store’s location last week — then asked readers to send in pics showing how far construction has progressed. And our Woodlands-area readers came through with these photos from yesterday and over the weekend, showing just how a baby shopping-center TJ’s is born:

At least the parking lot’s already in:
The store is expected to open next spring.

Totally changes how I view trader joes :(
Well, Cody, the Keebler hollow tree wasn’t big enough, even though it does have that weird Tardis bigger on the inside thing going on…
Grew up in California, now live in Houston. I heard Trader Joe’s is open in the Woodlands, and will open one or two in Houston. When is it official. I live by San Felipe/Briar Forest.
