UPPER WEST SIDE — Trader Joe’s is moving on up.
The supermarket chain plans to open a new location farther north on the Upper West Side, company spokeswomn Alison Mochizuki said.
The California-based grocery store signed a lease for the ground floor and lower level of 670 Columbus Ave., at the southwest corner of West 93rd Street, Mochizuki said in a statement Monday.
The store will be the chain's second outpost in the neighborhood, alongside one at West 72nd Street and Broadway.
The new branch is expected to open within the first six months of 2017 and will be approximately 12,100 square feet.
This is not the only new Trader Joe’s on the city's horizon. The chain is expected to open a new branch in Kips Bay this summer, and there are talks of it opening another outpost on East 14th Street between Avenues A and B.
The announcement came weeks after Fairway, an Upper West Side grocery store staple, filed for bankruptcy on May 2.
This new Trader Joe's location will compete with a Whole Foods four blocks north on West 97th Street.

Anyone else love TJ's? 2x a month a will wait in line and lug groceries from Union Square to Bushwick. To me it is worth it for fresh produce. I can buy organic stuff for the same cost as key food regular supplies plus stuff you can't find anywhere else IE: concentrated cold brew which costs me $7 and lasts 2 cups of great cold brew/day for a month.
I could go to Costco 1x a month but doesn't seem worth it.

Believe they are also opening a Trader Joe on Kent ave in Williamsburg for a closer option to you. You also have the one on the Glendale/Forest Hills border, but if you don't drive you'd have to take the bus.
The West 93rd St. TJ's will be handy for me. My route home often involves the M96 Crosstown for Broadway( 1,2, or 3 trains) or CPW (C train). A short walk to TJ's and then back to 96th and no danger of melting food. I like their frozen Shepherd's Pie.
Instead of a second store on the UWS, I wish they'd have considered the UES (like maybe the old Food Emporium site on 86th and Second.)
I've never shopped at TJ's so I'm excited that I'll have one in walking distance. The Murray Hill location - where's that site? Is it where the old Food Emporium (I think that's what it was...?) was located?
