Electrical and telephone contractor trucks were at the site of the upcoming Trader Joe's Grocery store on Fauntleroy Way SW on Wednesday. Some assessment work was done and work is moving ahead, according to the contractors on the site.
The first signs of some real work being done on the upcoming Trader Joe's location at 4545 Fauntleroy Way were spotted on Wednesday, May 18 with the arrival of telephone and electrical contractors on the site.
While they asked not to be identified they did say they were asked by the building owner (Steve Huling) to come out and get the work underway today.
The company just recently, early this month, got their land use ok.
As the West Seattle Herald was the first to confirm one year ago last May, the company plans to bring their brand of unique grocery store to former site of Huling Bros. Buick (and briefly Gee Automotive) on Fauntleroy Way s.w.
As the Herald reported on May 5, the company just cleared some of their permit hurdles which has been a time consuming process.
You can read about their plans that the Herald told you about first here.
