Trader Joe's posted its new midtown Tucson store on the corporate site as 'Coming Soon' on February 19, 2026, with construction substantially underway at 2150 E. Broadway Blvd. on the southwest corner of Broadway and Plumer Avenue. The 12,666-square-foot store will be the fifth Trader Joe's in the Tucson area and the centerpiece of a Sunshine Mile redevelopment block backed by up to $4.5 million in Rio Nuevo incentives originally approved in July 2023. Here is a fully sourced look at where the project stands, what it means for surrounding neighborhoods, and what to watch in the coming weeks.
