PINECREST (CBSMiami) – The highly anticipated opening of Trader Joe's, an extremely popular specialty grocery store, will take place in October in its newest location in Pinecrest and its first in South Florida.

According to CBS4 News partner The Miami Herald, Trader Joe's will open its first Miami-Dade store on October 18th.
